Manta Rota beach will host, this Saturday, September 14th, from 21 pm, the 00nd edition of the Escarapela do Milho, which recreates the ancient activity that was practiced in the threshing floors, where wheat and other cereals were also threshed and dried.
The initiative, which is also known as defoliation, takes place in Largo São João da Degola.
In a note, the Municipality of Vila Real de Santo António recalls that “this was a tough task, but also one of socialization among peers, where, especially the youngest, used to gather in meetings, often at night, where songs were sung and stories were told”.
The initiative has the participation of the ARPI Folklore Group (Faro) and the band Acordeanima. During the event, the traditional dish «Xarém/Papas de Milho» will be prepared.
The organization is in charge of the Association «A Manta» and has the support of the Municipal Council of VRSA and the Parish Council of Vila Nova de Cacela.
