Without knowing, and I did not really plan to visit the Azores that well, I arrived during the week of the festivities of SANTA CLARA the Saint that gives name to my street, Santa Clara...
As I write now, there is music outside just 2 minutes walking from my house (my parents), from our balcony we can see the church all lit up and pretty ( I will post a pic of this... its a must see...).
I am going to bed now with the music of PIMBA singers and some Regional Folklore singing, its total BLISS just what I needed for my holiday! :)
God Bless tradition!
I do not join in because its not my thing anymore, but I aplaude and encourage those who do. My parents have been collecting money for these festivities for a couple months now, my mother collects the donations from all our neighbours and my father helps with work, normally that means he cooks for the food stands held at the party.
It feels like I never left the Azores!
E o Mesmo e Mais Forte!
