	Ourense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ourense (Galician: Ourense; Spanish: Orense) is a town in northwestern Spain, the capital of the province of Ourense in Galicia.
		After the Romans, Ourense was part of the Suebi (Suevi) kingdom during most of the 5th, 6th, and 7th centuries and was destroyed by the Moors in 716.
		It was based on the Galician language as spoken in Ourense, but its users substituted everyday words with invented ones of no linguistic connection, making it impossible for other people to understand it.

		In common with the rest of Spain, Ourense has its fair share of festivals, but the most significant one to this city is the festival of “Entroido”, which takes place annually in February.
