Charolas In Aroc da Calheta

Thanks to Karen for these photos from a recent event in Arco da Calheta.

This event takes place in Arco da Calheta every year on the first weekend in July.
During Friday and Saturday local families make the Charolas (large globes of fruit and vegetables) outside their houses. These are then transported and hung up outside the church late on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday afternoon the Charolas are auctioned to raise money for the church.  A similar event takes place in Loreto but on a different weekend.
