Fajã da Ovelha Hotels and Accommodation

Penafiel has a 14th Century castle, and the wonderful, 16th Century, Renaissance-style Church of the Misericórdia, which was originally the church part of a Franciscan convent. In November, you can participate in the Feira de Sao Martinho. You can also visit the Festa do Corpo de Deus (celebrated with parades in traditional garb and flowers), since Corpus Christi is always open.
