Non é bruxería, é ciencia
Learn science by making your own potions from the hand of the witch Pinhuxa.
The term witch was coined in the Middle Ages with the idea that an evil being gave certain women power, formulas and artefacts to cast spells, but in reality, they were the first women with knowledge of science. This knowledge did not come from magic, but from their own experience and experimentation with metals, minerals and plants.
We will perform some of the spells preserved in old Egyptian papyrus, or with magical ingredients taken directly from the apothecary of the most renowned witches in history, such as the one made with monkey poo and elephant pee to make a mind-blowing volcano.
In the assembly hall. Aimed at children aged 3 to 8. Admission is free until the hall's capacity is reached.

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.
