There's a festival giving new life to the forgotten washhouses of Góis. The event aims to revitalize these historic spaces that for decades were meeting places and workplaces for local communities.
The Lavadouro de Sacões washhouse, located in Vila Nova do Ceira, is one of the examples mentioned in the article. These spaces, built in stone and fed by running water, represent much more than simple architectural structures.
The article mentions that the washhouses hold memories and traditions of the communities that used them for generations. The festival initiative arises to preserve this heritage and raise awareness among new generations about the importance of these places in Portuguese rural life.
