Find out more about Camariñas Lace Museum

The Lace Museum, inaugurated in 1996, is a space where tradition and history come to life, preserving one of the most emblematic trades of Camariñas. Here, the richness of lace is shown in its original context, keeping alive a heritage that has endured through time.

The permanent exhibition, located on the top floor, invites visitors to immerse themselves in the art of lace. Among the pieces on display, there are delicate designs, tools and materials that illustrate the artisanal process. In addition, the “picado” stands out, a technique unique to the region, which consists of tracing the lace patterns on cardboard, allowing their reuse.

Every Easter, Camariñas becomes the international epicentre of lace with its renowned Lace Exhibition, declared a Festival of Tourist Interest. This event, which features Queen Sofia as honorary president, features fashion shows where lace is reinterpreted in contemporary designs for men and women. Local, national and international lacemakers exhibit their mastery, captivating everyone with the rhythmic sound of bobbins.

The promenade of Camariñas offers an immersive experience, with shops selling lace pieces and live demonstrations that allow you to appreciate this art up close in the 21st century. And if you prefer to explore from home, you can purchase these masterpieces through the online store in www.mecam.net, taking a piece of Camariñas tradition to any corner of the world.
