If you’re looking for a cosmopolitan destination, glamorous events and a friendly atmosphere, while basking in the finest sun of Europe’s West Coast - the Algarve awaits you with the ALLGARVE’08 programme.

In Portugal, we enjoy celebrating, at any time of year, making the most of long nights, open air and the company of friends. As the warmer weather arrives, there’s more time to live, street art and a non-stop sequence of fairs and festivals hosted in cities or towns that adorn themselves for a wide array of festivities. Here, there are entertainment activities suitable for all tastes. Visit us and discover Portugal “em festa”!

Why not start your trip with Rock in Rio Lisbon 2008, a star-studded event staggered across two stages, in order to make the most of the event! In Funchal, in the island of Madeira, you can watch the Atlantic Festival. Or why not travel to the city of Castelo Branco to listen to this year’s edition of the Spring Music Festival. If you’re travelling to the Azores, you’ll have the chance to take part in the Holy Spirit festivities held in each island of the Archipelago.

As you’re waiting for the next event or concert, why not sample some radical sports in the Alentejo? Or watch the Portugal MotoCross Grand Prix in the Algarve? If you like the sun and beach, Portugal is the place for you - with 850 km of beaches! And, once again, don’t miss the ALLGARVE events programme, with various suggestions to occupy your free time and festivities happening every evening! Because the hot summer nights in the Algarve are synonymous with entertainment, attractive lifestyles and sophistication!
