Golegã

In the middle of the 18th century, the Feira da Golegã began, called until 1972 Feira de São Martinho, when it became known as the National Horse Fair. The National Horse Fair is the most important and authentic of all fairs of its kind that take place in Portugal and in the world. Here all the breeders are presented, with their beautiful specimens, which is why the best thoroughbreds, bred in the country, are sold in Golegã, which are sold in different parts of the globe.

Golegã has since become the capital of the horse. The Saint-Martin, fair that it was, has become the most beautiful and unique public equestrian show that takes place free of charge at our place. Rallies, Raids, Equestrian Games, Championships, Driving Marathon, Exhibitions, are some of the most beautiful shows that take place in Golegã in its presentation of the most beautiful animal in the world, the horse. And to complete the festivities, justifying the popular adage that "For São Martinho, taste the wine", there will be no shortage of agua-pé and the always desired roasted chestnuts.
