FLiD – Douro Literary Festival 2026

The FLiD – Douro Literary Festival returns to Espaço Miguel Torga in São Martinho de Antas, Sabrosa, on May 7, 8, and 9, 2026. This is yet another edition of a festival that has established itself as a cultural landmark in the Douro Demarcated Region, celebrating literature, writing, and authors in a unique setting among the Douro vineyards.

The festival brings together writers and personalities from the national and international literary scene, promoting debate, reflection, and the appreciation of literature in a territory deeply connected to the life and work of Miguel Torga, one of the greatest Portuguese writers of the 20th century, who was born precisely in São Martinho de Antas.

Espaço Miguel Torga, inaugurated in 2016, provides the perfect stage for this gathering of ideas and words. The cultural center features an auditorium, exhibition rooms, a library, and a café, offering visitors an immersive experience that combines culture, history, and the incomparable beauty of the Douro landscape.

Over the three days, participants can attend conversations with authors, panel discussions, book launches, and other activities that celebrate the literary universe. FLiD is also a unique opportunity to discover Sabrosa and the surrounding region, a land of Port wine, olive oil, and outstanding Trás-os-Montes gastronomy.

Admission to the festival is typically free, making it accessible to all lovers of literature and culture. For visitors to the region, FLiD is an excellent reason to explore the Douro Wine Region, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, combining the pleasure of reading with wine tastings, visits to quintas (wine estates), and the discovery of traditional villages in the municipality of Sabrosa.

Don't miss this opportunity to experience literature in the heart of the Douro, surrounded by the landscape that inspired some of the most beautiful pages of Portuguese literature.
