Romaria de São Pedro da Afurada
A part of the São Pedro (Saint Peter) festivities (July 29th), the popular festival with the name of that saint is the main attraction of the week after São João (Saint John). At Afurada, a fishermen’s quarter, there is a festival that is similar to São João’s festival but, of course, much smaller. In the narrow streets of the quarter, dwellers and lookers-on join around caravans with food, drinks and children’s entertainments.
