Where to Stay for Animação de Verão | Marco & Rafael
Animação de Verão | Marco & Rafael is a summer entertainment event in Chaves, in the northern Trás-os-Montes region of Portugal, featuring a live performance by the duo Marco & Rafael. It forms part of the town's seasonal programme of open-air music and cultural activities that animate Chaves through the warmer months. Chaves is a historic spa town on the River Tâmega, known for its Roman heritage, thermal springs, riverside setting and the smoked cured meats of the region. A summer concert here pairs naturally with a stroll through the old town and its Roman bridge. For guests staying with us in Vila Real, Chaves makes an easy day or evening trip further north, combining live music with the food and scenery of the Alto Tâmega.
