There is a tradition in Paredes do Bairro that is unparalleled in the region, and perhaps even in Portugal: the digging up of the Pedra da Sesta on 25th March, the feast day of Maria Malandrona, and then burying it on 25th September, thus marking the beginning and end of the rural workers' sesta (nap).
