On São Martinho’s Day, northern Portugal’s interior stops — and celebrates. Magusto, new olive oil, new wine and the smell of roasting chestnuts. A day the territory has lived for centuries.

There's a special magic to autumn in Trás-os-Montes: the fresh mountain air, the aroma of fireplaces starting to light, and the scent of roasted chestnuts heralding the season of magustos (roast chestnuts). Between harvesting new olive oil and tasting new wine, celebrating São Martinho is also celebrating the cycle of life and the earth—with human warmth, sharing, and flavor.
