Exciting Events in the Sintra/Cascais Region Portugal

6/8/2011

 
Hello Everyone!

Too many exciting events to choose from in this very special part of the world, we have had to put off going to many of the events until next year.

We loved the Medival Festivals of Obidos and Sintra.  The city of  Silves is hosting its Medival Festival during the second half of August.  These Festivals are elaborate affairs celebrating Portugal´s heritage.   Medival food and drink, crafts, jugglers, theater, dancers, animals  and  musicans  all dressed in traditonal costums create a colorful and upbeat portrayalof  Medival Portugal set in beautiful ancient town squares. 

  Every year Sintra has a music and dance festival.  This year was a celebration of  Mahler and Liszt from June 24 to July 10th, 2011.  There was a large selection  of concerts, films, lectures and opera to choose from. 

Today America´s World Cup Sailing Series starts in the Bay of Cascais.   The amazing catamarans will make their world premiere marking the start of an exciting journey with a destination of San Francisco in 2013.

And something to look forwward to: the annual  free music extravaganza in Cascais: Festas Do Mar August 19 to 28, 2011.  The stage isset  in the heart of the city center right on the bay.  A great setting with nightly concerts and fireworks.   

Enjoy your hoidays here and consider staying at Colina Flora www.colinaflora.com
