Where to Stay for Festas dos Remédios | Festa da Rádio
The Festa da Rádio is one of the events within the Festas dos Remédios, Lamego's largest and most cherished annual celebration, held in honour of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios (Our Lady of Remedies). Organised by the Município de Lamego, the wider festival fills the city with music, processions, and popular festivities. Lamego is one of the oldest cities in Portugal and the festival is deeply rooted in its religious and cultural traditions. The town is best known for the monumental baroque staircase that climbs to the Santuário de Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, a defining image of the city and the spiritual centre of these celebrations. Lamego sits in the Douro region, and its city centre is roughly a 35-minute drive from our Vila Real apartments, making them a comfortable base for taking in the festival and the surrounding wine country.
