Incredible Festival in Central Portugal | Chocalhos Festival 2024 | PORTUGAL FARM LIFE

[@insAneTunA]

It is an amazingly beautiful country, I had no idea until I recently started watching the videos about Portugal. I really enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing.

[@OKportugal]

Hey, thanks for watching 😁👍

[@lisacraig4585]

Smiled all the way through this vid❤. All the little tascas to visit, the Celtic like music, chocalhos (bells) and the friendliness of the locals. These festas during summer still capture the authentic rural life of Portugal and you get to march through the village on calçada romana.

[@OKportugal]

I'm so glad to be able to visit places like this and to be able to film it too. Amazing memories 😁❤️🇵🇹👍

[@JoseFerreira-vj3lq]

The music is not Celtic. It is the use of an instrument from the same family as the bagpipes used in Great Britain that gives that impression. The origin of this instrument comes from the Mediterranean or Near East. The Roman Empire spread the instrument throughout Europe, according to records from Greek and Roman historians and philosophers. Currently, we can find several variations of this instrument throughout Europe, from the north of the United Kingdom to Turkey.

Lovely! I just arrived (permanently) during the festa de Alcafozes (Idanha-a-Nova), very unique events, love it!

[@gerrypender]

I loved this video. It shows you can really have a nice time at these festivals. It also showed both of your personalities and great sense of humour. Brilliant ❤️

[@OKportugal]

Thanks Gerry 😁👍

[@JeanThring]

I enjoyed today’s video. What a lovely village. The atmosphere was great, everyone enjoying themselves with no one pushing or getting angry. Thanks for sharing.

[@OKportugal]

Amazing vibe!

[@daviddjerassi]

AMAZING NIGHT I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT thank you both for a great night out what a great festival "the shepherds watched there flocks by night all seated on the ground an Angel of the lord came down and glory shone around." Good night you two THANKS.

[@OKportugal]

It was very special. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@francisa751]

Rural Portugal is so different from Lisbon or Porto but in a good way. Surely more secure.

[@OKportugal]

@@francisa751 I will be vlogging in lisbon next weekend 😁👍

[@kikoempis]

Hey guys! You were absolutely correct. Chocalhos are rattles. Or bells too, but bells are called "sinos" in portuguese. Chocalho = Rattle / Sino = Bell. It looks like a very nice party. Loved that house!!! Those ganite stairs and the arch. Beautiful. The Palácio do Picadeiro (I guess there is no word in English for picadeiro, it means a horse ridding ring, an arena), was built by a rich magistrate on the XVIII century, but was never finished (he ran out of money), despite that it had several owners since, but never finished somehow.

[@OKportugal]

Hey thanks for that info... I need to go back and see inside 😁👍

[@eimsbush05]

"Forgot filming"... while getting drunk. Pure classic. Been there, done that, will do it again :D

Love your vlogs of your journey. It is such a great culture to embrace. Watching this from seattle, we are visiting our daughter. We return to portugal in 2 weeks. Never, in my life did I think I would call portugal home, but we do. Greetings from a bit further south

[@OKportugal]

Thanks Anthony! I'm having a blast over here. I think it's been my best summer yet! I now consider Portugal my home too!

[@anajoaquina]

@@sarahcampbell-t2g 🤣👍🍻

[@jasonslider2853]

Thank you for the video on the festival. We were wondering if they had festivals there since that's the area we are planning on moving to

[@OKportugal]

They have festivals throughout the summer in all of the villages around here.

[@Roosmarijn035]

There are festas throughout Portugal all through the summer. If you want you can go party every week, from thursday until sunday. We just had our annual party at the end of last month and on Friday and Saturday, the festa ended at 03:00 or 04:00. Beer's dirt cheap here and sangria too. You'll have lots of fun.

[@jonathanjacques7250]

What fun!

[@jayrunner4361]

Great Video. Awesome Vibe!

[@Here_kitty_kitty1-wg9xd]

It was a great video! At the end when you panned yourself back at the farm, I thought I detected some extra sparkle in your eyes and thought you were hangng onto a fence for dear life 😂

Haha nearly!

[@gerbentvandeveen]

Wy had the Saterday evening before the Fihseryday. "Botter Pop." Lokale bands playing there music, soms covers. But the setting is beautiful.

[@sirius_li]

4:30 - Not "Transmontanha" but "Transumância" or "Transhumance" in English.

[@gladysrodriguez50]

Hello Ken and Gina I saw the fire in Portugal are you okay guys hope you have been safe. I’m from Australia and I know what fire is, wishing you all the best ❤❤❤

[@OKportugal]

Thank you, we are safe 🙏❤️ all the best to you too

[@TM645]

Hey seems you have knowledge about pro audio, awesome. Those 2x18” are the best. Do you work in the audio business?

[@OKportugal]

I've was in the music industry for a long time and love hearing different sound systems!

[@TM645]

Yeah me too, I'm still in the buisness for now and I have my own sound system (Meyer Sound MSL 4's with Martin Audio WS318X subs, tripple 18's) but will move to Portugal in the near future and maybe we can listen together because I definitely take some stuff with me. We'll see what happens. Keep up the awesome videos, we really enjoy them!@@OKportugal

[@OKportugal]

@@TM645 wow I'd love to hear that!!! 😁👍

[@gerbentvandeveen]

It was a long time whit out a normal video. Vacation days and looking for a new Ok Portugal.

[@OKportugal]

@@gerbentvandeveen yes I have been enjoying the summer and soaking up the sunshine, but the farm life will continue. Next week I'm vlogging with my father in lisbon and its going to be a lot of fun! I think the video will be awesome 😁👍

[@albertabs]

Last I was in Alpedrinha it was for Cherrie festival, great vibes ,that festival is called rattles in English , due to the costumes that have rattles to scare the witches , that’s what I was told

[@deborahbasel184]

I agree with Gina "it's too peopley"

[@martindevlin9152]

Seeing lots of news about fires in Portugal , hope you are all safe and okay. Thinking of you all , the rains may help dampen things down

[@abeirabaixa]

I think the best part of this video, Ken and Gina, is how you show that you are in love with each other. Lucky ones! The Alpedrinha festival is fantastic!

[@OKportugal]

It's our first time, and it won't be the last time. I think it was my favourite one so far!!!

[@sappir26]

Have you guys attended any harvest festivals yet?

[@OKportugal]

@@sappir26 I haven't heard of those... I've been to a bunch of different festivals here so maybe I have. I don't know 😅👍

[@Theselfiechick]

Have you ever filmed monsanto?

[@OKportugal]

I've been.a couple of times, but I'm not sure if I've filmed it yet. I should go for sure again with camera 😁👍

[@tiogoala7654]

Gina was having a moment there with the 'sheep bells', not to be mistaken for nuts.

@@tiogoala7654 🤣🤣🤣

[@sergioduarte6348]

🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹👏

[@nickcox6556]

What was in those shot glasses???

[@OKportugal]

They didn't have tequila so we had something called Jerepigo instead... its basically wine fortified with added alcohol... in this case they probably used aguardiente to fortify it.

[@espiritualme2048]

I JUST WISH ALL FOREIGNERS DISCOVERED PORTUGAL WHEN WAS REAL PORTUGAL WAS SO GOOD YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA..😢

[@oliverpapp8271]

I don,t understand why you bought water? Did you want to wash your hands?😄

🤣

Nights are longer during the winter, catch up on sleep then.

[@OKportugal]

Great advice 😁🍻👍❤️🇵🇹

[@gerbentvandeveen]

Wy had 4 wensday's of Spakenburgse day's. A marketday, whit a game. Who, sells the most. That is wensday 5. And wensday 6, is aal smoking content. And then the last Saturday of September i'ts Fihseryday in Spakenburg. Wy are going back in time to 1920/ 1930. The time of the Zuiderzee. Before the "Afsluitdijk." And the newist Provincie of Flevoland. (Were I can wok to in the water.) The old hauber of Spakenburg is now a UNESCO SITE. And living 900 yards from it. And ol the history? Olso in ww2. Is something else.

[@OKportugal]

Sounds great!

[@gerbentvandeveen]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6nKo6RngKdnbrsfeature=shared It's the end of Fihseryday in Spakenburg. On the old Steel BOTTER, of my nevenje.

Sagres is not a good beer

[@OKportugal]

@@josiasguiomar2504 haha, it's funny you say that because I'm currently sitting with my father drinking beer and he says the same thing ... he is loving super bock though!!! 🍻😁👍

[@Roosmarijn035]

Guess it depends on the part of the country. Taste is objective, I think it tastes fine. Here (Évora) almost everything is Sagres.

[@rasputindasilva858]

We can't help but agree, it is not good, it is the superlative of good.

[@Here_kitty_kitty1-wg9xd]

Thank god you and Gina aren’t into clickbait! I unsubscribe to all of them. You’re a “truth talker” - a new word in my vocabulary this year. You must get it from your father. I get the feeling he’d call bull-shit on anything that tried to manipulate him.
