The Bica Blanca is possibly the most traditional sweet of Laza, a beautiful town in Ourense. In this town you can still breathe Galician atmosphere in abundance. It is in its streets where the traditional Entroido de Laza, the town’s carnival, is celebrated. It is during these popular celebrations when some of the inhabitants dress up as peliqueiros. Grotesque characters that scare the neighbors with characteristic costumes, cowbells at the waist, a mask that covers their face and in their hand a whip.

During the celebration of these traditional carnivals, declared of tourist interest by the Xunta de Galicia, the bica plays a fundamental role. It is the perfect way to bring the whole family together at the table and celebrate cultural tradition and gastronomy, two inseparable elements. A perfect occasion to feel the Galician carnivals from home.
