Mostra do Encaixe de Camariñas

A Lace-Making Tradition on the Costa da Morte

The Mostra do Encaixe de Camariñas is a cultural and fashion event built around the town’s bobbin-lace tradition. Lace-makers, known locally as palilleiras, demonstrate the craft, while designers bring lace into contemporary clothing and accessories.

Demonstrations, Designers, and the Runway

The event’s program combines craft demonstrations with fashion shows for established designers, emerging talent, and younger participants. The result puts the work of local artisans beside new interpretations of lace, making the Mostra both a public showcase and a meeting point for craft and design.

Organized in Camariñas around Holy Week, the event has been running for more than three decades. The official site publishes a new schedule for each edition; visitors should check that year’s dates, program, and admission details before traveling.
