Regional/Cultural Day
The Person Who Falls Asleep
Everyone argues about the score before the first whistle blows. Your friend slumps in the chair during the second half. They wake up exactly when the crowd cheers and claim they saw everything.
Regional/Cultural Day
Work That Started Before Most People Have Coffee
The sun is up before the city streets wake. Hands dig into the soil while others are still dreaming. You eat the result without thinking about the distance it traveled.
Regional/Cultural Day
Dia de Sao Joao
The day after the festival, when the people of Porto recover from the night before and the children play with the leftover plastic hammers in the streets. The tradition is to eat the leftovers from the night before and to watch the boat races on the Rio Douro. The day is a public holiday in Porto, and the city is quiet after the noise and chaos of the night before. The Festa de Sao Joao is the most important cultural event in Porto, and it defines the identity of the city in the same way that the Festa de Santo Antonio defines Lisbon. The rivalry between Porto and Lisbon is one of the oldest in Europe, and the two festivals are a reminder that Portugal is a country of two cities, two rivers, and two ways of being.
