Camariñas lace, famous throughout Galicia and exported throughout the peninsula, is coming to life again in the region thanks to the support of the regional government. This ancient art, which dates back to the 16th century, has found a new impulse that has allowed local artisans to show their talent and preserve a tradition unique in the world. Camariñas lace is characterized by its delicacy and beauty, using leaves as the main element of the decoration. These leaves intertwine forming roses, stars and ferns, creating highly complex designs. The linen thread used in making these laces is abundantly grown in Galicia, which has further boosted its production in the region.
A lace that transcends borders
Camariñas lace has transcended borders over the centuries, even being used in the Toledo Cathedral in the 16th century. This demonstrates the quality and prestige of this traditional Galician art, which has conquered hearts beyond the borders of the region. One of the most fascinating aspects of Camariñas lace is its versatility. It can be used as a guipure lace, where the leaves are intertwined over a lattice background, or as a leaf-only lace, creating relief pieces. This versatility gives Camariñas lace a wide variety of applications, from clothing to household items.
A promising future
Thanks to the support of the regional government, Camariñas lace is experiencing a renaissance in the region. Local artisans are creating unique, high-quality pieces that are capturing the attention of national and international customers. This revival not only has a positive impact on the local economy, but also helps preserve a historical and artistic tradition. Camariñas lace is much more than a simple craft, it is an expression of the identity and culture of Galicia that deserves to be valued and celebrated.
