porta fora

porta fora collects what happens in Portuguese villages — fairs, romarias, concerts, gastronomy and crafts — and puts it in one agenda, with no algorithm deciding what you see.

The homepage is a map of Portugal instead of a feed: each district is a dot with the number of events it holds, so you can see at a glance where the country is moving. Tap one and it opens into its concelhos and agenda.

I built the frontend and the backend, including the ingestion layer that pulls events from municipal council sources, so the calendar fills itself instead of relying on manual entry. The agenda can be sliced by time — now, today, 7 days, 30 days — or shown whole.

• Interactive map of Portugal with a live count of events per district.
• Drill-down from district to concelho, with search by place.
• Time filters: now, today, 7 days, 30 days or everything.
• District cards with illustrations, next event and totals.
• Integrations with municipal councils to ingest events, plus a publishing flow for organisers.

• Live at portafora.pt with hundreds of events across 60+ zones.
