Fantastic medieval fair made in Santa Maria da Feira once a year during around ten days in august. Many shows telling a story each day, lots of portuguese participants and foreigners with different goods sold in tents, and medieval food of course! Never missed one in twenty years...

With the Palace Hotel as the center of attention, many other attractions exist. The Carmelitas Convent is beautiful. But to find the other attractions is challenging, since the place, although huge, is poorly signalized.

I appreciate my pencils so much more after taking this tour. Small hand produced batches of pencils, in a workplace that is both an OHS eyesore and fascinating at the same time. Never heard of this brand, but I'll look for it now. Three months to produce a pencil?! The ingredients of man power, graphite, ceramic & cedar, make a very special item.

Well worth making the trip to Valenga just south of Ovar to see this amazing church. It is covered with beautiful painted tiles both inside and out. The village is sleepy. You can get a cheap lunch across the square. If you are going down to Aveiro I recommend you take the back road rather than the main road as you will pass some lovely old houses on the way.

Forse il parco cittadino più grande non solo di Porto ma dell'inetro Portogallo: consiglio di riservare un paio d'ore per girovagare in questa bellissima distesa verde, con caratteristici laghetti che fanno dimenticare di essere all'interno di una città. Caratteristico il Padiglione d'acqua, risalente ad Expo 1998.

7. Castelo de Santa Maria da Feira

We stopped here on our drive from Porto to Lisbon. Since it was the off-season, we were lucky enough to have the castle to ourselves. The hotel is in great shape. They even have a very informative video that gives a great history of the castle. Definitely a great stop to see an in-tact castle that hasn't been completely commercialized yet. Plus, it was one of the few Castles we visited that you can explore fully. They have done a great job of keeping this place in great condition.

Il parco è stato realizzato un secolo fa e comprende verde e laghi dove si può andare in barca attorno alla cappella di Nostra Signora de la Salette. Un posto ottimo per rilassarsi dove ho fatto una piacevole sosta.
