The best parachute of Portugal will show this weekend spectacular aerial stunts for the Portuguese championships skydiving.
17 and 18 March, the free flyers jump from a plane to show spectacular tricks in the air. In this section, the parachutist is free in the execution of his jump. Blazing through the air with the head straight down, standing, on the abdomen, back or sideways … come and watch this event!
The event starts around 10 AM, Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 March depending on weather. The location is the airport of Portimão (Aeródromo Municipal de Portimão).
Excellent Sardines and grilled fish are available everywhere, in the Algarve, but Portimao is famous for this. Lots of restaurants specialise in this delicacy: charcoal grilled , seasoned with coarse sea-salt, eaten from a slice of bread, and washed down with red wine (or beer). This is the way we eat Sardines! So not surprising that every year Portimao hosts the Sardine Festival! This year the festival starts on Friday 6th August till 15th August, from 6 till 12 pm.
Portimão’s Sardine Festival is one of the highlights of the summer with 10 nights of entertainment, tasty food, market stalls and music. From 8pm to 9.30pm every night there will be local and regional bands playing with the main show starting at 10pm.
