Is anybody planning to attend this festival in Porto Portugal this summer?

My partner and I went to Porto after walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain, back in the spring of 2007. We were lucky enough to have picked the same weekend of the famous festival.

One million people lined the streets of Porto that night and the actual festival activities did not start until mid night!

And they carried on until dawn the next day.

If you are looking for something completely different consider checking out this festival. Porto is a great city to visit too.

For more information on the festival please see the following link:
