FESTAS E ROMARIAS DE PORTUGAL: As nossas tradições, os usos e os costumes (1)

Portugal e os portugueses possuem um enorme potencial sociocultural e de afirmação popular, impressionantes, com destaque para as Romarias e Festas, quase sempre ligadas ao orago da localidade e são tantas, com ramificações na nossa Diáspora espalhada pelo mundo.

Um fenómeno que movimenta gente e dinheiro. Que atrai e que envolve, tal é a necessidade humana de celebrar, de agradecer, de pedir… Ao sacro junta-se sempre o profano, numa salutar conjugação, que promove e dignifica. O folclore está intimamente ligado, ao factor festa, faz parte integrante, imprescindível, necessário. Raiz cultural, das lendas, das crenças, das cantigas e da música popular, das danças; tudo num hino à tradição, aos usos e costumes. Ao que de facto somos, enquanto povo e nação. Orgulho e paixão pelo que é nosso. Sabedoria e razão, compromisso e acção, na vida e na história da gente!

Estas (con)vivências e encontros estão directamente ligados à gastronomia; aos cheiros e aos sabores da nossa cozinha, na sua diversidade e qualidade regional. É por isso que se organizam determinados eventos gastronómicos, provas de vinhos, festas. A música popular está quase sempre presente. Se não é o folclore, pode ser o fado, ou música ligeira. Um bom jantar, com alguma animação musical, tem “outro sabor”. Música e gastronomia, sempre se entenderam bem. Faz parte de nós.

Foi isso mesmo que aconteceu, recentemente, no antigo “Picadeiro” reputado restaurante, em Ponte de Lima. Agora com nova direcção e outros objectivos. O “Best of Portugal”, sob orientação do jovem Luis Gomes oferece, para além da boa comida regional e tapas, outros serviços de fumeiros, vinhos e aguardentes de grande qualidade. Integrado no amplo espaço do Centro Equestre do Vale do Lima, proporciona bom ambiente e qualidade.

Organiza eventos temáticos, apesar da nossa actualidade comum. Depois das Guitarras e do Fado, numa noite conseguida, foi a vez das cantigas ao desafio, das concertinas. Estimulante e agradável, deu satisfação aos que naquele dia e parte da noite se deliciaram; com a comida e serviços, mas também com a música e as cantigas, por todos aplaudidas.

Promover e dignificar é o objectvo desta coluna, aqui no seu Minho Digital.
