i've been dying to tell you about the silliest christmas tradition in braga: o bananeiro. every 24th december in the end of the afternoon, hundreds of people start gathering in front of the house of the bananas. having been in braga for two days, believe me, i found 3 friends in 20 minutes and saw a lot of people i knew! EVERYBODY comes here, to do what? the warm up for the big eating: everyone EATS A BANANA and drinks MOSCATEL, a sweet wine. yep, banana and wine, doesn't sound very christmas-y to anyone, but hey, we can't complain the environment is really funny and light. and it really prepares us for an entire night of eating!
