Montalegre
Day 2-3
THE WITCHES' NIGHT 👹 FRIDAY 13TH 👹! 🌄 In the morning /afternoon We'll have plenty of time to adjust to our new surroundings: - Explore our house complex and the National Park near our home ⛰️ Trip from House 🏘️ - Montalegre 🕐1h drive by car 🧹 The event opens at 13h13 🧙🏽♀️ We'll discuss when is the best time to go there since the peak moment happens at night (23h - Queimada preparation 🔥). My suggestion would be: - Lunch at home - we have a barbecue - Dine out in a traditional restaurant near Montalegre; - Dive into the realm of the witches 🦉 and try the infamous queimada - an alcoholic beverage with powers, typically prepared while reciting a spell 🪄. 🌃 The night will be full of surprises: phenomenal shows, 🎆 fireworks will light the night/castle 🎇, traditional beverages, foods, and music all around the place, and of course amazing decorations making you travel to the era of incantations ✨.
