The town of Felgueiras is located in luxuriant country approximately 18 km southeast of Guimarães and is well known for its vinho verde, embroidery and lacework. Many villages around have small Romanesque churches such as the 12th century Santa Maria de Airães church about 7 km south. The Santa Quitéria Sanctuary in the north of the town has an interesting 17th century altar and is built on the burial ground of the martyred saint. In town there is the 12th/13th century Romanesque São Vicente de Sousa church. Whilst in Felgueiras, try the pão de ló (sponge cake) from Margaride.
