Abstract

This article presents a festivity about which very little has been studied: the «Bugiada» and «Mouriscada» of Sobrado, also called St. John of Sobrado. It is a midsummer festivity which takes place in Northern Portugal (Valongo) on June 24th.

Through a bibliographic review, which unifies, for the first time, a scattering of publications about this festivity, it will be possible to identify different paradigms of ethnological research. With a special focus on the 20th century, this mapping will be done through the eyes of foreign and Portuguese scholars who wrote about this cultural manifestation.
