You came for the horses, but don’t be surprised if you leave with a pair of handcrafted boots, a saddle stitched by a local artisan, or a bag full of beautiful accessories.
Here's a small guide to be shop prepared for Portugal’s most iconic horse celebration this year.
Golegã’s cobbled streets are lined with stalls, pop-ups, and tiny boutiques, each one a treasure chest of craftsmanship. Whether you're searching for high-quality riding gear or just want to take home something stylishly Portuguese, there’s something here for everyone:
🧥 Riding Attire: Traditional Portuguese jackets, breeches, boots, and brimmed hats worthy of the manga.
🐎 Tack & Saddles: Hand-tooled leatherwork made by artisans who know horses inside out.
🧤 Accessories: Gloves, belts, bags—even ponchos and capes that bring your rider look full circle.
🎨 Crafts & Keepsakes: From ceramics and woodwork to antique prints and equestrian artwork, the fair is a haven for collectors and casual browsers alike.
It’s easy to lose a whole afternoon wandering from one vendor to the next. Many offer custom fittings, so if that dream pair of boots isn’t quite your size—just ask. For horse owners, this is the place to stock up on quality gear with true Portuguese character.
And the best part? You’re not just buying a product—you’re shaking hands with the very people who made it.
Even if horses aren’t your thing, Golegã’s market scene still delivers. Think handwoven blankets, embroidered scarves, artisanal soaps, and rustic ceramics that look straight out of a countryside farmhouse. It’s part fashion fair, part folk art gallery, and fully irresistible. If you’ve got an eye for craftsmanship, you’re in the right place—saddle or no saddle.
Experience the charm of Golegã through its craftsmanship, where tradition meets design in every stitch. From the scent of leather to the glow of lantern-lit stalls, shopping here is more than a pastime—it’s a sensory journey. Each item tells a story, and chances are, you’ll want to take a few home.
Bring an extra bag—you’ll thank yourself later.
