Cozy & Dramatic
Easy logistics. Pleasant experience offered in a very cozy tavern with tables of small groups also participating . The Queimada ceremony was dramatic and we were provided with a nice guide that translate the wording used during the ritual into our language.

This is a perfect addition to your experience in Galicia.
This wonderful experience provides insight into an old family tradition still practiced in Galician households. Maybe not with the incantations but as a social family experience after a meal. It was perfect for sharing insight into our Galician family experience with newcomers to Spain and Galicia. The venue was easy to work with and flexible when making arrangements for our large group of 10. The presentation was interesting and theatrical. Don’t miss this opportunity to round out your visit to Santiago de Compostella and Galicia.

We loved it!!! The person who helped us was super kind and explained the process to us in great detail. You can tell that she likes what she does. 100% recommended.

Too high a value for a little more than to prove the burnt.
Far below expectations. Too high a value to practically prove the burn.

Disillusionment
The amount paid is not worth the experience. It was a disappointment, compared to those I had experienced in other times.
