Both religious and secular activities play a part in the Pardon of Nossa Senhora dos 
RemEdios, a pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Remedies in Lamego, Portugal, 
a small town known for its port wine and smoked ham. 

Great numbers of pilgrims climb the monumental staircase up to the baroque church, but 
the highlight of the festival is the triumphal procession on the last day, in which thousands 
of country people in local costume participate. 

There is also a battle of flowers, a folklore festival, fireworks, sports contests, and 
handicraft exhibitions.
