“ A festa no trabalho tornava apetecidos aqueles convívios laborais. Podia faltar noutros dias, mas no almoço/ jantar da cegada “toda a gente tinha prazer p’ra apresentar o melhor que tinha: presunto, cordeiro, cascanho, orelha, butelo.”

It is this way that the historian Belarmino Afonso described the labor in the fields 40 years ago in his research about “Roçadas e Tradições comunitárias no Planalto da Lombada”.
