This manor is a one of kind building in the heart of Oliveira de Azemeis which is just 20 minutes south of Porto and the airport and also just 20 minutes from the coast. This understated place hits the headlines every May for the Mercado à Moda Antiga, a traditional market and fair that takes over the centre for two days with hundreds of stalls selling regional handicrafts, fruit, vegetables and regional delicacies. Vendors are dressed in folk costume from the turn of the 20th century, and nuns make typical convent confectionery in their wimples! This all goes hand-in-hand with traditional dances, parades, street theatre and concerts in the evening by well-known Portuguese artists. The picturesque local park, the Parque La Salette, is a cultured park on a hill, plotted around a chapel built in the 19th century to commemorate the Marian apparition in La Salette, France.
