PuntoGal renews its collaboration with A Irmandade dos Apañacastañas

Santiago de Compostela, 23 December 2025 | PuntoGal renews its collaboration with the Irmandade dos Apañacastañas, an organisation dedicated to promoting the figure of the Apalpador, a Galician Christmas character.

The official website, www.apalpador.gal, presents this mythical character who, according to tradition, comes down on Christmas Eve to bring gifts to children. The page not only offers detailed information about the Apalpador, but also includes references to similar figures from other cultures, thus allowing visitors to explore the rich and fascinating imagery associated with this time of year.

In addition, the portal brings together various resources to deepen knowledge about the Apalpador and Christmas celebrations, including the possibility of sending him a letter and sharing your best wishes for the holidays.

PuntoGal, which recently exceeded 7,500 registered domains, carries out its work in three main areas: domain management, representing Galicia in international network organisations, and supporting technological, linguistic and cultural initiatives.

As you would expect, the PuntoGal team would like to take this opportunity to wish you a very happy holiday season.
