00:01Lisbon's most anticipated festivals are back, filling the streets with color, popular music and traditional Portuguese food.
00:08Between the smell, the sardine assada, music and convivio, there are no one who doesn't have this tradition.
00:13Let's see what makes the popular popular so special.
00:17It's a time of party, a time of happiness, a time of convivio.
00:22For me, it's the most important thing here in Lisboa.
00:25We're going to know a lot.
00:27It's the best year of Lisboa, it's the best year of the year.
00:30It's a party, it's holidays, it's hot.
00:32The beer is perfect.
00:34It's a celebration and a union between the city.
00:38I think it talks about local culture and new things to explore.
00:44In the case, we're foreigners and we love to come and live to the places that they exist, the way
00:53they are.
00:53Every year, the popular Saints Festival continues to attract thousands of visitors.
00:58But despite the passage of time, some elements remain unchanged.
01:02What can't you say for a popular Saints Festival night?
01:06Alegria, a good disposition, and a beautiful bifan, of course.
01:11Cerveja, sardine, and chariço.
01:15Chariço and music, good music.
01:17The food is my bad point and it's the forte of the party.
01:23All the food are incredible.
01:25Most of Lisbon's festivals end on June 13th, the feast day of Saint Anthony, one of the favorite Saints of
01:31Lisbon's residents.
01:32Until then, the atmosphere is one of celebration and camaraderie.
01:36With an angeliques and a feast in each other, there is a certainty that it travels generations.
01:42Lisbon continues to surrender to the Saints of Portolares,
01:45one of the most emblematic celebrations of the Portuguese culture.
