The region Minho is known for its great diversity, which you can experience during the numerous tracks in the area. We have many walks around the campsite on paper and digital, there are signposted walks in nature parks and very regularly walks are organised with guides. You can find some of our walks on wikiloc.com. Every year we check our own tracks and to give you a taste we described one of 2 hours going to the neighbouring parish Cornes.

Semana Santa

The week before Easter is called the Holy Week (Semana Santa). Although more and more Portuguese are not really practising catholics, the tradition
of Semana Santa is still alive. In the one place more than in others. Braga, being the religious capital of Portugal by history, has turned Semana Santa into
one of their most important touristic events. It is famous for all its processions and masses.
I thought it would be nice for once to write the story of Easter and start with clearifying the easter eggs. They are from the time before christianity when the people
would hide easter eggs in the agricultural fields during the time of planting to ask for a fertile season. The Romans tried to fight the figure Jesus. They killed him, but
could not conquer his ideas, so they decided to use the traditional days of offering to change them into religious ones.

Fado is Portuguese style in singing. The word comes from the Latin word ‘fatum’, which means: to have a certain sufferling, luck or love that navigates or commands life. The texts are about the history of a loved one, or the missing of a loved one. In the video you can hear the singer who you can experience when you visit us. She sings every saturday in a traditional setting in a restaurant in our area.
