Esculturas do vento, entre a fe e a fantasía nos tellados de Compostela
Esculturas do vento. Entre a fe e a fantasía nos tellados de Compostela is an exhibition dedicated to the fascinating world of Compostela’s gargoyles.
The show features visual artworks—drawings and sculptures—created by 3rd-year ESO students from the Visual and Audiovisual Arts program (EPVA) at IES de Cacheiras, offering creative and sensitive reinterpretations of these unique figures that inhabit the city’s rooftops.
The project also involves students from the Graphic Arts programs at CIFP Compostela, who designed and produced the exhibition’s poster, brochure, and roll-up. The photographs of the gargoyles that served as inspiration are by photographer Álvaro Trillo.
The exhibition will remain open to the public until June 6. During this time, visitors will be able to vote for their favorite gargoyles in the drawing and sculpture categories.
A unique opportunity to rediscover Santiago de Compostela through the artistic gaze of its youth.

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.
