Because in “El Mundillo de Eva"We've already set our sights on Easter 2026, and we've found a destination that you're going to fall in love with: Camariñas! And it's no wonder, because..." 1 al 5 April This jewel of the Costa da Morte celebrates nothing less than the XXXV edition of the Mostra do Encaixe35 years of pure magic!
A Journey to the Heart of Tradition
If you're looking for a different kind of plan, one that combines culture, beauty, and that festive atmosphere we all love, the Camariñas Lace Fair is the place to be. Just imagine the sound… That rhythmic, constant click-clack of hundreds of bobbins dancing between expert fingers. It's hypnotic and wonderful. It's not just about seeing the lace; it's about feeling the passion and history of generations of lacemakers who have transformed a thread into true art. In fact, this year's motto says it all: “Camariñas, onde o fío becomes art”And what artistry!
This 35th edition promises to be unforgettable. The Mostra is not just a fair; it's the heartbeat of an entire town. You'll see incredible exhibitions with pieces that seem straight out of a fairy tale, fashion shows where traditional lace blends with the most modern and daring designs (you'd be amazed at what can be done with bobbin lace!), and, of course, countless lacemakers working live, always ready to explain their art with a smile. It's the perfect opportunity for children (and adults alike) to see firsthand how something so delicate and beautiful is created from scratch.
Much more than lace: Camariñas awaits you
But wait, the trip doesn't end at the Mostra. Going to Camariñas is the perfect excuse to discover the Costa da Morte as a family. And here are our "must-sees" for a perfect trip!
1. The Vilán Lighthouse: A Giant Facing the Atlantic. Just a few kilometers from the town center, the majestic Vilán Lighthouse stands tall. It's one of the most iconic lighthouses in Galicia, and for good reason. The landscape is simply breathtaking: towering cliffs, the powerful crashing of the sea, and a light that captivates you. It's the perfect place for children to run around (always carefully, of course!), breathe fresh air, and feel like true explorers. What's more, the surrounding area has a fascinating (and sometimes slightly pirate-like) history that they'll love. Photos here are a must!
2. A Walk Through the Port and the Town. Camariñas is a truly authentic fishing village. Strolling through its harbor, seeing the colorful boats, the hustle and bustle of the fishermen… is a delight. And getting lost in the narrow streets of the old town, discovering charming corners and small artisan shops, is another of those simple pleasures that make a trip special. Take the opportunity to buy an authentic souvenir!
3. Nature and Hiking for all. If you enjoy walking, this area is a paradise. There are easy and beautiful routes, including part of the famous "Camiño dos Faros" (Lighthouse Trail), which can be adapted for families. Walking along the coast, discovering hidden coves, and enjoying spectacular views is the perfect way to disconnect and reconnect with nature.
