"Home sweet home!!!!" a Feira Travel Page by RuiPT

I live in Santa Maria da Feira, a quiet city near Porto, only 30 km, and usually in foreign countries when people ask me where I live, I say Porto, only because people don’t know Santa Maria da Feira, and so I don’t need to explain where that is. But I love my town; I was born here and always live here. We can find a mixture of the bigger Portuguese cities and the little villages, and why I ‘m saying that, because I my town we know almost everybody, perhaps we only saw them once, but we know that face and we have a cultural life very important like I will try to show you in the tips below.
