Discover Santiago de Compostela XIV: A Queimada


A Queimada is one of the most popular rituals in Galicia. The term refers to a punch prepared with Galician orujo and sugar, coffee beans, lemon and cinnamon. To celebrate the ritual, people gather around the container in which the punch is prepared and recite the well-known Conxuro da Queimada.

According to tradition, the goal of a Queimada is to keep the bad spirits away from the living! Find out more here or watch the following video:
