Check back soon as I will organize this post and update with information. 

"After sitting in anticipation for some time, almost 1000 Minho women start to pass by, each walking tall and proud in perfect rows, with their hands on their hips and a beaming smile. They’re immaculately dressed from head to toe in the beautiful traditional folklore costumes from their area or village."

A travel blogger's notes and images:

“Romaria” can be translated as “pilgrimage” or “festival”, and Nossa Senhora d’Agonia as Our Lady of Agony. It takes place every year in August and officially lasts around 15 days, but most of the events are concentrated over 4/5 days. It is the largest Romaria in Portugal.
