    This was such a beautiful video! I felt the love and community come through. I truly cannot tell you Jeff, Andre, and all that have been involved in the making of this series how much I appreciate the extraordinary work you have put forth. Madeira is the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. But what is even more beautiful is the people, the connection to the rest of the world. I will see you soon!

    Will this feast be bigger than the Ponte de Lima feast in Portugal?
    called Feiras Novas?
    one of the oldest in the country (it is said to have been since 1125),
    The event takes place annually, more precisely on the second weekend of September, and lasts for several days, this year from the 4th to the 9th of September, considered as "the biggest live congress of popular culture in Portugal", each day with a different parade
    which ends on the last day with the procession of Our Lady of Sorrows
    Or will it be bigger than the Viana do Castelo pilgrimage/romaria that ends with the procession of Nossa Senhora da Agonia?
    annually, in the city of Viana do Castelo, during the month of August, considered the largest pilgrimage in Portugal with an influx of over one million visitors during the festival days.
    what
    in 2024, it took place from August 14th to 22nd
    In the costume parade, around a thousand women participated this year

    • @Hittheroadmadeira
      @Hittheroadmadeira  2 дня назад +1

      Wow thank you Marie! From what I know, it’s the biggest outside of Portugal, we should actually re-name the title, thank you, I’m definitely going to look into these, thank you so much 🙏

      será essa festa maior do que a festa de Ponte de Lima em Portugal
      chamada Feiras Novas?
      uma das mais antigas do país (diz-se que desde 1125),
      O evento ocorre anualmente, mais precisamente no segundo fim de semana de setembro, e tem a duração de vários dias, este ano de 4 a 9 de Setembro, consideradas como "o maior congresso ao vivo da cultura popular em Portugal”, cada dia com um desfile diferente
      que termina no último dia com a procissão da Nossa Senhora das Dores
      ou será maior do que a romaria de Viana do Castelo que termina com a procissão da Nossa Senhora da Agonia?anualmente, na cidade de Viana do Castelo, durante o mês de agosto, considerada a maior romaria de Portugal com uma afluência superior a um milhão de visitantes durante os dias da festa.
      que
      em 2024, se realizou de 14 a 22 de agosto
      no desfile dos trajes/mordomas, participaram este ano cerca de mil mulheres

      Well I believe it’s the largest outside of Portugal, so maybe we need to rename the video 👍
