What’s Really Inside Europe’s Largest Medieval Festival? 

Portugal loves their medieval festivals but in Santa Maria de Feira, located south of Porto, is the largest reenactment of its kind in Europe. It is full of acts, foods, drinks, things to buy, and activities to experience.
Step inside this old city with Josh and Kalie from ExpatsEverywhere (and Valencia, their 3 year old daughter) to see what it's like. Is it worth the money? Is it worth a trip within Portugal or to Portugal from abroad? How much time do you need to spend there?
All of these questions are answered in this fast paced vlog as you can experience (via video) what Josh and Kalie experience on their day in Santa Maria de Feira, Portugal.
Today and tomorrow (August 12 and 13 of 2023) are the last two days of 2023 for you to experience this festival. If you miss it, there's always next year for this annual event held every August for over 25 years.
