Festa da Transumância e dos Pastores - Subida dos Rebanhos à serra
Every year, on the weeks after the São João Batista popular festivities, in the village of Folgosa da Madalena on the plain lands of Seia county, the sheperds climb up the mountain to the summer pastures, being this the highest point of the sheperds activity in serra da Estrela. This year, the sheperds that will climb the mountain, renew the invitation so that tourists and visitors can once more discover the one of the most symbolic activities of sheperds, the transhumance, an experience that translates the essence of a hard and simple life, filled however with magic and enchantment.
