This dance dates back to the 16th century, when it may have been performed as a sign of appreciation to a Saint or as a celebration of the local nobility. It takes place in an area of spectacular views over the estuary around some significant monuments of O Hío, including a cruceiro (a stone cross), the church of San Andrés and the rectory. During the dance, men wear white costumes with a felt hat and a black tie, while women wear clothes similar to the traditional wear of people on pilgrimage to Compostela. This is why the dance is also known as the ‘Pilgrims dance’.
