STATUE OF THE DANCE OF ARCHES

STATUE OF THE DANCE OF ARCHES

Discover an ancient seafaring dance, held in July, where dancers dressed in white intertwine decorated wooden arches, on a tour of the village.
Statue in honour of the "Danza de Arcos", a sailors' guild dance that is performed on 16 and 17 July in honour of the Virgen del Carmen. The dancers, dressed in white and adorned with cloth passed down from father to son, intertwine wooden bows decorated with brightly coloured paper, in a dance that goes around the village. This dance is over a hundred years old and was brought to Camariñas by sailors from Cariño who came to work on the seine boats.
