The Revelim de Santo António, in Castro Marim, was once again the stage for another edition of the International Snail Festival, which took place between the 18th and 20th of July, with an eclectic entertainment program, from rock to traditional Portuguese and Spanish music, as well as gastronomy.
The best aromas and flavors of snails and other innovative recipes such as Xarém de caracoletas, Empada de Caracol, Pizza de snails and Caracol à Brás were present at the event, produced by local restaurants and groups to delight visitors.
The venue also featured Spanish cuisine, regional Algarve sweets and local craft beer during the three days of the festival, with free entry.
This year's program included performances by Charanga Los del Ruedo, Domingos and Friends, Fábia Rebordão, Pardais à Solta, Los Gurumelos, Luís Gomez, Olho's 4, Jorge & the “Queridos” and the show “Eis o Algarve” by Nelson Conceição.
Without forgetting the youngest, the Revelim de Santo António also had a space available for the little ones with various activities, in addition to the participation of the Youth for the Environment.
This event aims to establish the town of Castro Marim as a destination for the best snails in the Algarve, in addition to promoting traditional products, cuisine and Mediterranean culture and being a stimulus for local commerce, valuing the structure and heritage built on the hill of Revelim de Santo António, which leaves no one indifferent.
The International Snail Festival is organized by the Municipality of Castro Marim, with the collaboration of the municipality's many associations and clubs.
