Post Carnival Algarve






Carnival week in the Algarve and most schools here have a week off. For anybody who watched the Rio Carnival on television, this is a great highlight of the year and some pretty exciting viewing ...




While here in the Algarve we don´t exactly match the Rio event, our local Loule carnival claims to be the forerunner of its bigger and better sister across the Atlantic. Thousands enjoyed the local carnivals here in the Algarve and all over Portugal during an often wet and gusty weekend - however, this did not dampen enthusiasm.
