We walked, in search of the Maya, to fulfill the tradition of decorating our homes with these flowers. Passing through fields and floodplains from Moita, Alfeloas, Arcos and Anadia we know the history and ethnography of Bairradina and what we find in thematic museums , ethnographic and wineries at the Bairrada Wine Museum and the José Luciano de Castro Museum, without forgetting other figures and events. We visited religious monuments and urban art and heard stories and legends from millennia that made this region and its peoples. We went up to Monte Crasto to admire the surrounding landscape and went down to the cellars and cellars to taste the Bairrada sparkling wine and regional gastronomy.
