S. João do Monte religious festival

Esposende
Description
Lose yourself in time the origin of the festival of S. João, this obstinate preacher and martyr beheaded, however, and although it can not state with precision the beginning, we know that is one of the oldest in the entire country.

The "Festas Sanjoaninas", in Esposende and Marinhas, reach the exuberant brilliance that date offers on June 24, sending the tradition that at this point is make paper balloons rise by starlit skies; light up bonfires around which the people dance and sing; stand up in camp arches richly decorated; and to organize popular marches who happily travels over the main arteries of the localities.

The S. João means popular whoopee, joy and exuberance which should not miss the traditional sardines, red wine and corn bread that watereth the thirsty throats of so festive people.
