Braga, the city where I am from, is particularly known for the different festivities that occur during the holy week, in Portuguese “Semana Santa”. People throughout Portugal and from abroad come to Braga to appreciate and experience this season.
Moreover, people take the opportunity to refresh and renovate their houses. The countryside is covered with flowers, which exude a marvelous scent. Birds are seen everywhere. Spring time is so good ….
Many people also seize this opportunity to travel and visit other places. If the weather is good, the beach is a preferred destination for many.
On Easter Day, families traditionally join together. A group of people come to people’s house carrying the cross "o compasso" and wish everybody a happy Easter. Godfathers and godmothers give presents and chocolates eggs to their godchildren.
It’s a time of joy and sharing ...
