Three festivals across the Algarve will be celebrating food this summer. Algarve Housing rent villas with private pools in the Algarve. Enjoy nice food and top villas in Portugal.
The Portimao Sardine Festival on the riverside area will have grilled sardines on the menu from August 7 to 16, while the Olhao Seafood Festival (better known as festival do mariscos) from August 10 to 5 will be presenting visitors with all types of seafood dishes, from boiled prawns and seafood rice to feijoada de buzios (bean stew with sea snails) and crabs. Both events have a varied programme of entertainment planned, including live concerts and street theatre. From September 2 to 6, chefs will be showing off their cooking skills at Vilamoura Marina during the Cataplana Experience festival.
Cataplana is a typical Portuguese dish of either seafood, fish, meat or vegetables, cooked using special cookware, traditionally made of copper. Cookery courses for visitors who would like to learn to use a cataplana will be held during the festival.
