Ao mar: perseguindo a borraxeira
The exhibition is the result of an initial project about the shellfish gatherers of Muros, with whom Cris Romero worked for three years, photographing their daily lives along the estuary. “Their effort and determination against all odds—bad weather and the halting of activity—were a constant in my attempt to capture it in my photographs, to give them value, and to offer them a platform to showcase their work, something well known in Galicia but not in the rest of Spain,” says the artist. The result was two exhibitions: one in July 2023 at the Muros Tide Mill and another in March 2024 in Madrid, on the occasion of International Women's Day, as well as the publication of a book.

Festivals
The neighbourhood of Vistalegre celebrates its traditional festival of San Xoán from June 21st to 23rd.
June 23rd, the summer solstice, is the magical eve of “San Juan” (St. John’s Day), an ancient fiesta that is present in all cultures, marking the beginning of the summer, the time of greatest sunlight, the longest day in the year.
The members of the Cultural Association Cidade Vella have prepared various activities in several squares of Compostela’s Old Town to celebrate the most magical night of the year. There will be music, sardiñadas (grilled sardines), snacks, quitameigallos (ritual bonfires), dance groups, foliadas (traditional music gatherings), DJs and, above all, lots of partying.
Five days of music, dance, theatre, big-heads, reading, storytelling, science and much more in one of Santiago's most unique neighbourhoods.
