September arrives and with it one of the most beloved pilgrimages of the Portuguese coast. Torreira, in the heart of the Aveiro Lagoon, will once again host the Pilgrimage of São Paio, from September 4 to 8, 2025. It is a celebration that mixes faith, music, maritime tradition, and, of course, that popular spirit that makes people return year after year. Those who have participated know: it is not just a program of festivities, it is an experience that remains etched in memory.
