The Carnival in Torres Vedras is one of the many in Portugal. But what makes this ‘Carnaval’ extra special is the sheer size and bustling vibe. If you are in the area, make sure to visit this carnival. You won’t regret it.
Carnival is a roman-catholic tradition which has been celebrated until now. You can celebrate this event in many countries in Europe and America. But being a deeply religious country Portugal is one of the best places to enjoy this weeklong party.
Go and enjoy the colorful satirical floats during the parades. These parades will amaze you with colors, art, music, and laughter. For months people have been sculpting the elaborate floats from scratch. They are a true work of art with usually a satirical theme.
The dates of the festival are usually set in February and sometimes even in March. The exact dates depend on the religious calendar and vary every year.
