Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora do Porto d'Ave
The cult of Nossa Senhora dos Milagres was the origin of the church and chapels, which represent the childhood journey of Jesus. The widespread knowledge of the miracles and the construction of the church led to many valuable ex-votos in the sanctuary: a small replica of Bom Jesus do Monte (Braga), the church itself covered in azulejos which represent scenes of Jesus' childhood.
The main feast is held on the first Sunday in September, with a solemn mass and procession, preceded by a novena. The procession includes several allegorical floats, accompanied by music.
