What you need to know

About
Golegã, a small Ribatejo town that calls itself the capital of the horse, gives itself over to horses for its yearly fair, also called the Feira de São Martinho. Riders and horses fill the streets and the central square, so kids see horses up close. It suits horse-mad kids. Children who are wary of big animals in a crowd may find it a lot.
Where it is
Largo do Arneiro
2150 Golegã
