Peddy Paper — Tuesday 18 August, 3 pm
The activity “Peddy Paper: Discovering the Pilgrimage” aims to create a recreational activity for those who enjoy the Romaria and the city of Viana do Castelo, enabling registered teams to visit some of the most iconic sites of our pilgrimage and learn about the themes, by solving challenges and answering questions so that they can push themselves and score as many points as possible to win the challenge with their team.
This game involves teams of at least 4 and no more than 6 members, who must be registered by providing their names and dates of birth; minors may take part provided they are accompanied by a responsible adult. Each team must appoint a team captain, who must have a smartphone with a camera, the WhatsApp app and internet access to send us the answers and complete the challenges requested for the number provided at the Peddy Paper kick-off meeting (including any photos, videos or other tasks that may be requested).
Registrations will be accepted by email between 11 and 16 August 2026.

- Maximum number of teams: 10, which may be increased to 12 if the maximum number of 60 participants has not been reached with the previous teams.
