| The Folkloric Group of Coimbra

| Situated in the heart of Portugal, Coimbra which is already been an important city during the period of the Romans, Visigoths and Muslims, was the first capital of the country. A city which was at the same time Galician and Mozarabic, because of its central position and also due to opening of solutions of problems, was a decisive factor for its establishment for seven centuries and definitively from 1537 the Portuguese University.

| Coimbra was a privileged city of a mixture of cultures, namely popular and rural, university and erudite, but she knew now to assimilate them and also how to create something new, difficult to define except by the name of ‘Coimbrão’. If the students from one side have created their own academic praxis and traditions, on the other side, the people from the city which is integrated in the large region of Beira, has participated in the same way of the lyricism and graciousness which involve the natural landscape, producing some forms of expressions and some characteristics melted with the historic influences which involved the city.

| The Folkloric Group of Coimbra tries to represent, as faithful as possible the popular traditions of the city and its surroundings, presenting dances, songs and traditional costumes from the 18th and 19th centuries.
