Oporto for São João 2020

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Mrs B and I are planning to visit Oporto for the São João festivities next year. Anyone else from TPF planning to be there?

Our 2020 visit got rolled into 2021, then into 2022. Fingers crossed, we will actually be in Oporto for June 2022.

I think stuff is going to happen this year, I've already seen television reports about people and collectives preparing for Santo António in Lisbon and São João in Porto (so at least on paper, at this time, festivities are expected to happen). Fingers crossed indeed.
