Culture
Once a year, Ares celebrates the Corpus Christi. Heritage Ares boasts a highly distinctive architectural style, with single-story houses and brightly painted wooden galleries. The entire municipality is dotted with buildings in the Indiano style. Many of these are remarkably beautiful and are in an almost perfect state of preservation. Their unique character made them a popular summer destination in the 80s and 90s, which, in turn, contributed to the degradation of the architectural landscape, which became overrun with modern multi-story houses. However, some areas still retain the town's original charm, such as O Porto, where single-story houses with whitewashed walls surround a network of narrow streets. The Indiano heritage is a cornerstone of Ares' historical legacy, not only for its architectural appeal and value, but also because it exemplifies Ares' connection to the 20th-century migration processes. In August, the town celebrates its Indiano festival (Ares Indiano) to commemorate this historical link, paying tribute to the local emigrants who left their homeland and returned as patrons of various sociocultural initiatives in Ares, contributing to the town's progress. ==Economy==
