Medieval Journey |
Every year in the month of August, Santa Maria da Feira once again becomes a medieval town. |
Every year in the month of August, Santa Maria da Feira once again
becomes a medieval town, filled with knights in heavy armor,
wielding long swords and taking part in jousting tournaments.
Over a 10-day period, the historical centre is transformed into a
major medieval fair, with the presence of merchants, artisans,
blacksmiths, bakers, mule-drivers and liqueur sellers.
Inside the castle, visitors may observe scenes from the daily life
of the epoch and outside they may take part in the renowned
festivities and savour specialty dishes from the past. In the
streets, acrobats, musicians, jugglers and fire-eaters exhibit their skills, transporting
visitors back in time.
