At 100 years of age, Maria José Rijo was invited to share the memories she keeps of São Mateus during a Conversas Soltas session, which took place at the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography of Elvas António Tomás Pires (MAEE).
The initiative was organized by the Associação Passar Saber, with the support of Elvas City Council, providing an intergenerational sharing moment.
The conversation took place in a relaxed late afternoon atmosphere, marked by the exchange of recollections and experiences lived by Maria José Rijo throughout her long life.
