Every July 16th, the town of Cee comes alive with the celebration of O Carme, one of its most cherished and traditional festivals. Dedicated to the Virgin of Carmen, protector of sailors, this day holds deep meaning for the fishing community and everyone who calls the sea their home.
The streets fill with music, dancing, and joyful activities for all ages, while the air carries the unmistakable aroma of grilled sardines. The beloved sardiñada brings locals and visitors together in a warm, festive atmosphere where stories, laughter, and plates are shared freely.
O Carme de Cee is more than a date on the calendar — it’s a living expression of devotion, identity, and togetherness in this proud coastal town of Costa da Morte.
