Every corner of Penafiel bears traces of Escritaria, the literary festival dedicated to honouring Portuguese-speaking authors.

Each year, during the festival, Penafiel transforms into the city of the chosen writer, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the author’s world and their literary legacy.
