Santo António (St Anthony) is very popular in Lisbon, and São João (St John) in Porto. A beautiful street parade takes place all over Lisbon, the festivities being seen as a competition between Lisbon’s bairros (neighbourhoods). You’ll find dancing, eating and drinking in the streets of various regions of the city (Bairro Alto, Alfama and Mouraria to name a few).
