When based at your 4-star hotel in São João da Madeira, join the locals and attend the numerous events held throughout the year! On 25 April, blend into the crowd for Dia da Liberdade: a celebration of the carnation revolution that marks the end of Salazar’s dictatorship in the country. On 23 June, citizens honor patron saint São João: spend some moments that are all about folklore and tradition. 5 October is a holiday in Portugal commemorating when a coup d’État by the Republican Party ended the monarchy in 1910. For some even more impressive festivities, you should stop by
Vila Nova de Gaia, at the gates of the majestic and surprising city of Porto. In between celebrations, you’ll be able to get back to your hotel where a gourmet, typically Portuguese meal will await you in our Golden Tulip restaurant.
