Torres Vedras in Celebration: Celebrate St. Martin’s Day at Quinta da Carlota
St. Martin’s Day, celebrated on November 11th, is one of Portugal’s most cherished traditions. Its origin dates back to the legend of Martin of Tours, a Roman soldier who, on a cold and rainy day, cut his cloak in half to share it with a beggar. It is said that at that very moment, the sky cleared and the sun began to shine, giving rise to the famous “St. Martin’s summer.”
Since then, this day has become a symbol of solidarity, warmth, and abundance, celebrated with gatherings around roasted chestnuts and new wine. In Torres Vedras, this tradition comes to life with cultural events, local food stalls, and festivities that warm both heart and spirit.
At Quinta da Carlota, St. Martin’s Day turns into a complete experience: from the cozy fireplace to the aroma of chestnuts roasting, everything invites you to celebrate the arrival of autumn with comfort and charm.
