Giesteira

Giesteira

Giesteira or Bairro de Belém is a neighourhood of the Portuguese city of Póvoa de Varzim. It is the "lavradores" (farmers) district of the city.

Giesteira was originated from the old village of Giesteira that, with Argivai, constituted the main nucleus of the settlement before the 14th century, and whose lavradores (farmers) had helped in the installation of "póvoa" in the coast.

Its main feasts are Nossa Senhora de Belém in July and Belém's Saint Peter Festival in late June.
