Tiago Aldeia and Custódia Gallego are the faces of Viagem Medieval 2026

It’s official. Actors Tiago Aldeia and Custódia Gallego are the faces of Viagem Medieval in Terra de Santa Maria, in a special edition celebrating 30 years.

With a consolidated career in television, cinema, and theatre, Tiago Aldeia stands out for his versatility. Passionate about History and Viagem Medieval, he will take on the role of Afonso Henriques during the 12 days of the event.

Awarded Best Theatre Actress at the 2025 Golden Globes, Custódia Gallego is one of the most respected and accomplished Portuguese actresses. Acclaimed for her talent and ability to reinvent herself, she will portray D. Teresa, mother of Afonso Henriques, at Viagem Medieval.

For both, this will be a debut in the art of performing in historical reenactments—a challenge they have embraced with great enthusiasm and a strong sense of responsibility.

In May, Tiago Aldeia and Custódia Gallego will be photographed for the Viagem Medieval poster. In July, a few days before the event begins, they will move to Santa Maria da Feira for on-site rehearsals and moments of interaction with the community.

It will be an enriching experience for everyone.
