The Festival da Batata-doce de Aljezur is one of the greatest autumn food festivals in Southern Portugal, celebrating the famous 'sweet potato' from the Algarve's Aljezur region.
Aljezur sweet potatoes are said to be the best around, due to the soil and growing conditions in the area. This three-day festival is a great opportunity to taste these delicious veg, cooked in a wide variety of ways - from freshly baked in a wood oven, or sliced and fried as a starter to served up with cinnamon and sugar.
As well at sweet potatoes, there will be stalls selling other regional products and produce, plus traditional entertainment.
Entrance to the festival is free.
