"Memories of Campo do Gerês – From Past to Present"

"Memories of Campo do Gerês – From Past to Present" is a historical retrospective event that will take place this Saturday, August 24, in the picturesque village of Campo do Gerês, Terras de Bouro. This initiative is organized by Green Man Gerês, Keen Tours, and the Campo do Gerês Landowners' Association.

«It is a unique event, as it aims to showcase to visitors of the Serra do Gerês and its residents some of the memories of its people,» say the organizers.

"Memories of Campo do Gerês – From Past to Present" will take place in the village of Campo do Gerês, Terras de Bouro, and is based on the Malhadas held in 1988 in that village.

«The goal is also to highlight the changes in the village since 1988 and provide context for them. Additionally, it seeks to reflect on the motivations for singing, the importance of community life today, and how both tangible and intangible heritage can influence the present and shape the future,» they emphasize.

The event starts at 6:30 PM with a Guided Walk Through the Village. In the evening, at 9:00 PM, there will be a film-concert featuring the "Cantadeiras de Campo do Gerês."

The initiative concludes with a roundtable discussion starting at 10:00 PM.
