Museu EXEA Presents "Corridas de Chinchorras": A Photographic Look by António José Cravo at the Tradition of Torreira

11/20/23, 3:00 PM

In November, Museu Marítimo EXEA is pleased to present the photographic exhibition "Corridas de Chinchorras" by the renowned António José Cravo. The show transports visitors to Torreira, a fishing village in the municipality of Murtosa, Portugal, during the annual celebrations of São Paio in September. The focus of the exhibition is the exciting and traditional maritime race held by the men of the region aboard chinchorras, typical local Canoes. Through Cravo's lens, the exhibition captures the energy, skill, and community spirit of this unique cultural practice, which honors the patron saint and celebrates Torreira's maritime identity. Come and appreciate this vibrant Portuguese tradition masterfully recorded.
