Two day annual cockle festival in Figueira, Portimao, with music and entertainment for all the family.
Celebrating 'the cockle' - the big star of this event. Around four thousand visitors are expected to attend the festival where about two tons of cockles will be prepared and presented in many different ways, including cockle dough, cockle rice, cockle potatoes, cockle patties and, of course, natural cockles.
In addition to the shellfish, there is a great programme of show and music to get everyone up dancing.
