Louza de Bamio: memoria, mulleres e territorio
Louza de Bamio: memoria, mulleres e territorio invites the public to discover the richness of a trade that has disappeared today: the oleira tradition of the parish of San Xinés de Bamio, in Vilagarcía de Arousa. The exhibition is part of Louceir@s de Bamio, a hybrid project between the Asociación de Mulleres Rurais de Bamio and the University of Vigo, which seeks to recover the social memory of the neighborhood.
The exhibition consists of six panels that cover the history and techniques of this tradition, with special emphasis on the fundamental role of women in the transmission of this knowledge. In addition, the exhibition includes the exhibition of several original pieces of this oleira tradition, some belonging to the Museo do Pobo Galego and others recovered by the Louceir@s de Bamio project itself.
It is, in short, a tribute to a lost craft, and also an appreciation of the importance of revitalizing the collective memory.

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.
