Some portuguese famous writers have been in Baião:

Agustina Bessa Luís
António Mota
The House of Tormes (Eça de Queirós Foundation)
The house was inherited by Eça's wife, after her mother's decease, in 1890.
They never lived in the house, but Eça visited it twice and it became the scenario of one of his most popular novels "A Cidade e as Serras".
Nowadays, the house shelters some furniture that belonged to the writer and is visited by turists (portuguese and foreign).
