If Saint Eufémia Came Here…

Douro

On the eve of the harvest season, the Romaria in Honour of Santa Eufémia takes place every September.

Pilgrims climb the Arda slopes on foot, where they are welcomed by the famous food stalls. Tradition dictates that you must have a steak of Arouquesa beef before the celebrations begin.
