Cultural Traditions
The traditions of northern Portugal and Galicia are deeply rooted in the daily lives of their people. In cities like Braga and Viana do Castelo, religious festivals and colorful processions fill the streets with music and devotion. In Guimarães and Ponte de Lima, skilled artisans preserve time-honored crafts such as embroidery and traditional pottery. In Melgaço and Monção, artisanal smoked meats and Vinho Verde wines are part of a culinary heritage passed down through generations. Galicia, with its strong Celtic influence, keeps its folk music alive with bagpipes and lively festivals in Santiago, Pontevedra, and Vigo. Our experiences offer an intimate look at these traditions, from live music performances to artisan workshops and food tastings with local producers.
