Organisers are celebrating a record-breaking edition of Portimão’s Sardine Festival, which attracted an unprecedented 133,404 visitors between July 30 and August 4.
The municipal council of Portimão says that these numbers do not include the “many thousands of people who visited the nearby restaurants and entertainment spots throughout the town’s riverside.”
Additionally, around 2.2 tonnes of sardines were eaten during the festival, which will return in 2025 between August 5 and 10.
