Built on Mount Penude, amidst vineyards, Lamego has a glorious past: the first King of Portugal, Alfonso Henriques, was recognized here in 1143, during the first "Cortes" celebrated in the country. Today, this small town is not only the centre of Douro wine management, but also... a pilgrimage centre with one of the most famous shrines in the country, Nossa Senhora dos Remedios. Suffering from the comparison with Bom Jesus, the city decided to marry the profane and the sacred. Thus, from August 22 to September 9, a whole series of entertainments accompany the asceticism. The traditional procession marks the major event of these festivities.
