15/02/2024 – ‘XVI Tunalidades’, the Women's Tunas Festival, in Coimbra
In the 14th century, Coimbra witnessed the forbidden love of Prince Pedro for a beautiful maiden named Inês de Castro.
Legend has it that it was at Quinta das Lágrimas that Inês wept when she was killed at the behest of Pedro's father, King Afonso IV. The blood she shed then still colours the stones of the fountain that was born from her tears...
