Tickets and details at the source

An exhibition about the Despensas, a dance tradition that belongs to the parish of Rabo de Peixe and is found nowhere else on São Miguel, runs until 20 November. Its opening came with the launch of a book on these dances by Ruben Monfort Meseguer. For visitors it is a rare chance to learn about a local custom that rarely reaches the guidebooks. The listing names no venue or opening hours, so confirm both before you set off.

Practical information

The tradition is from Rabo de Peixe on São Miguel, but the listing does not name the venue; check it first. Rabo de Peixe is a short drive or taxi ride from Ponta Delgada.
