  • Are these details incorrect?
  • A curious mix of pagan ritual and religious celebration. An auction of smoked sausage donated by residents takes place in homage to São Luís, the patron saint of animals, with the proceeds donated to charity. A modest cultural fair takes place at the same time, and visitors can sample hearty rural gastronomy.
