With streets filled with decorations and popular music, Portuguese people and tourists of all ages gather to celebrate the \u201cSantos Populares\u201d.<\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o (Saint John) is commemorated in Porto, in Lisbon it is Santo Ant\u00f3nio (Saint Anthony) who takes over the stage. According to the legend, the Saint had the gift of bringing couples together and was, therefore, nicknamed &#8220;matchmaker&#8221;. This tradition, which lingers until today, appeared for the first time in 1958 when the marriage of 26 couples with financial difficulties was guaranteed, in the Church of Santo Ant\u00f3nio.\u00a0 Related to this custom is the offering of \u201cmanjerico\u201d \u2013 the lovers\u2019 plant \u2013 associated with love confessions. \u201cManjerico\u201d is a sensitive plant and, therefore, taking care of it implied a great commitment between couples that had to keep it healthy until the following Santo Ant\u00f3nio.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Although the whole city participates in the celebrations, the party mainly happens in the traditional boroughs: Mouraria, Gra\u00e7a, Alfama e Madragoa. The food and beverages\u2019 stalls invade the streets and the aroma of roasted sardines becomes common, due to the multiple barbecues that take place inside and outside of the houses. Santo Ant\u00f3nio\u2019s peak happens on the 13th of June: the day of his death. The popular parades are held on this day, performed by the multiple boroughs that gather to march to the rhythm of choreographed dances and the sound of popular music. These parades began in 1932 and, even though they were interrupted by the 25th of April 1974, they continue to be a crucial part of Santo Ant\u00f3nio.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At Hotel Portuense we are proud to be located near the main stages of the party. Only 9 minutes away from Mouraria, 18 from Gra\u00e7a, 19 from Alfama and 27 from Madragoa, you do not need to wait in the endless transport queues.<\/p>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h5>Take advantage of the nice June weather and walk to your room to enjoy a good night of sleep after the days of excitement and dance.<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June is known, in Portugal, for the endless parties.
