With a street party atmosphere it’s a wonderful spectacle of colour as people dress up in bright coloured costumes. Some will dress up in traditional Portuguese costumes and carry a mixture of images of saints and non-religious artifacts. Music accompaniment is provided by local amateur bands.
These festas are associated with the grilled sardines season and where best to start than in Portimão or Praia da Rocha? See you there!
