With the arrival of February, we arrive at the season of the carnival. The masks, the music, and lots of partying in the streets. But in addition to many who know the Brazilian carnival, we in Portugal also have our “Made in Portugal” Carnival. And today in this post we will talk about the carnival of Torres Vedras, which is known as the most Portuguese Carnival in Portugal.
The Torres Vedras Carnival will be back this year and will be with a 100% Magical.
This year, from February 9 to 14, whether with or without a magic wand, magic will dominate more than ever, the city of Torres Vedras…
Release the perlimpimpim dust, cuddle the unicorns, rub the lamps and take the rabbits out of the hat, all magic tricks will be accepted, to make the best and most Portuguese Carnival of Portugal happen.
And in the end, clean the perlimpimpim dust, return the unicorns, recycle the lamps and release the rabbits in the field ... because the Torres Vedras Carnival, is the greenest on the planet and Magic & Fantasy takes place ... but it is reused!
We recommend, that if you are thinking of a great SpringBreak, choose travelling to Lisbon, and visit Torres Vedras in the Carnaval Season, 5 days of pure Revelry.
