Besides the religious acts, stands out on Virgin\u2019s Eve a pretty famous open-air dance and a rock concert the previous Saturday. During the evening of July 16th, young locals compete in the Gameli\u00f1as Regatta (\u201cgamela\u201d is the traditional coastal oar fishing boat in A Guarda, the \u201cgameli\u00f1as\u201d are small \u201cgamelas\u201d).[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”SANTA TREGA’S ROMERIA: 23 September” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”title title–underline”][vc_single_image image=”12638″ img_size=”747×250″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_outline” onclick=”link_image”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
