He saw in them the reflection of what he had always believed: the strength of a community that, united, is capable of transforming the impossible into beauty. With his characteristic enthusiasm, Rui Nabeiro followed each edition with the emotional gaze of someone who recognized, in each paper flower, the work, dedication, and love of the people of his land. He applauded the streets, visited the houses, encouraged the neighbors—and proudly repeated that Campo Maior was not just a town, but a living example of unity and generosity. Today, each petal that blooms in these festivities carries a bit of his vision and his legacy: that of believing in people and in the infinite capacity of the people of Campo Maior to create beauty with their own hands.
