Ponte de Lima Party// Festa de Ponte de Lima [EN/PT-BR]

[English]

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well 😊 This weekend I went to Ponte de Lima and I only found out that the Ponte de Lima party was taking place when I got there 😊 I'll show you and tell you a little about what I saw 😊

The festival is called Feiras Novas, it is a nationally renowned festival, attracting, every year, thousands of visitors from all over the country to this great pilgrimage. These parties take place all over the city, the concertinas, the challenging songs, the folklore and the gastronomy transform this party into a unique and unforgettable event, in the pilgrimage that is considered the “largest live cultural congress in Portugal”.

Now I'm going to show you a little of the historical procession. It was a very beautiful procession, which talked a lot about the past in the city of Ponte de Lima

In this procession, lots of horses, kings and people playing drums passed by. It was really beautiful 😊

There were also some dolls, which here in Portugal are called the Cabeçudos, I don't know what you call these dolls in your countries, I don't even know if they exist there.

then we went for lunch, as it was the party in Ponte de Lima, as expected the restaurants were all full, so we left the party area a little and found one that had plenty of free tables. It was still 12, the restaurant was empty when we left at 1pm the restaurant was already full. We ordered the typical dish here in Ponte de Lima, I had never tried it before but they told me it was very good. We ate rojões with sarrabulho rice 😊

Then for dessert we went to the party to eat some churros 😊 Hmmm I love churros 😋

Of course, you can't miss it, whenever you're at a popular party I always have to drink a dose of gininha. I love it, and not to mention it felt good 😊

At popular festivals here in Portugal, it is customary to have many of these stalls with various stuffed animals, which have several games where you can win one of those stuffed animals if you win the game.

Afterwards we went for a walk around the city of Ponte de Lima and learned a little about the history of this city. Ponte de Lima is very beautiful, I recommend it to everyone who comes to visit Portugal to place it in one of its landmarks 😊

The streets were all decorated, it's a shame I didn't stay there until nightfall, to be able to see the lights on.

The river that passes through Ponte de Lima is the Lima River. We went to the Ponte de Lima bridge, which is over the river, and there were very few people passing by, so I stayed there for a while just watching 😊

I hope you liked it, see you soon friends 😊

Olá a todos, espero que estejam todos bem 😊 Este fim de semana fui a Ponte de Lima e só descobri que estava a decorrer a festa de Ponte de Lima quando lá cheguei 😊 Vou mostrar-vos e contar-vos um pouco do que fiz vi 😊

A festa chama se Feiras Novas, é uma festa de referência nacional, atraindo, todos os anos, milhares de visitantes vindos de todo o país para esta grande romaria. estas festas acontecem por toda a cidade, as concertinas, os cantares ao desafio, o folclore e a gastronomia transformam esta festa num acontecimento singular e inesquecível, na romaria que é considerada o “maior congresso ao vivo da cultura em Portugal”.

Agora vou te mostrar um pouco do cortejo histórico. Foi um cortejo muito lindo, onde fala muito sobre o passado na cidade de Ponte de Lima

Neste cortejo passaram muitos cavalos, reis e pessoas tocando tambores. Foi realmente lindo 😊

Tinha também alguns bonecos, que aqui em Portugal se chamam Cabeçudos, não sei como vocês chamam esses bonecos nos seus países, nem sei se eles existem lá.

Depois fomos almocar, como era a festa de Ponte de Lima, como era de prever os restaurantes estavam todos cheios, então saímos um pouco da zona da festa e encontramos um que tinha bastantes mesas livres. Ainda era 12, o restaurante estava vazio quando saímos das 13 já estava o restaurante cheio. Pedimos o prato típico daqui de Ponte de Lima, eu nunca tinha provado mas disseram-me que era muito bom. Comemos rojões com arroz de sarrabulho 😊

Depois para sobremesa fomos à festa comer uns churros 😊 Hmmm adoro churros 😋

Claro, não pode faltar, sempre que você em uma festa popular tenho de beber sempre uma dose de ginginha. Adoro, e então sem contar é que eu soube bem 😊

Nas festas populares aqui em Portugal é costume ter muitas destas barracas com vários peluches, que têm vários jogos onde podes ganhar um daqueles peluches se ganhares o jogo.

Depois fomos dar uma volta pela cidade de Ponte de Lima e conhecer um pouco sobre a história desta cidade. Ponte de Lima é muito bonita, recomendo a todos que vierem visitar Portugal a colocar num dos seus pontos de referência 😊

As ruas estavam todas decoradas, foi uma pena não ter ficado lá até o anoitecer, para poder ver as luzes acesas.

O rio que passa por Ponte de Lima é o Rio Lima. Fomos até à ponte de Ponte de Lima, que fica sobre o rio, e havia muito pouca gente a passar, por isso fiquei lá um bocado só a observar 😊

Espero que tenham gostado, até breve amigos 😊
