Colete Encarnado em Vila Franca de Xira



In the first Saturday of July we are going to the Festivities of the city of Vila Franca de Xira, which are very related with bulls.
http://www.cm-vfxira.pt/frontoffice/pages/50?news_id=2772

So, the plan is to get there by train and see the bulls running across the city.
[Don't worry about the bulls, this part is safe for them; but no so much to the guys that will cross in front of them]
After that we will eat sardinha, drink cerveja and vinho, walk around the city and see some live music.
At some point, we will take the train back to Lisboa.


The meeting point is in the Gare do Oriente, just outside the metro station, between the metro's exist and the book/CD's fair. We meet at 6:15 pm.
