Here are some expressions you might hear from locals and what they mean to the rest of the Portuguese people (often smiling when hearing it) and of course what they mean to you. Enjoy!

Friday was for jazz and a ball in the streets of Porto, saturday was for a nocturnal pijama race, and today we're going to the outskirts, for a medieval fair at the monastery of Leça do Balio. That’s us, showing the best of Porto to our visitors.

This year's edition of "Out of place cinema" (cinema fora do sítio) continues. Yesterday anyone could see the excelent "Lincoln" at Praça Carlos Alberto, today the not so great (a matter of opinion of course) "Pacific Rim" at Praça da Ribeira (see image). Yes, it's free.
See you there? Enjoy Porto!

Our destination this weekend: Feira Medieval of Santa Maria da Feira.
It's not far, and we're glad to help you find it and get your way around. You'll probably find us holding a jar of sangria.
It's the biggest medieval fair in the country. And these are the last three days. Enjoy!
