The Algarve is very proud of its culture and this is shown throughout the year by the way it celebrates its many festivals. February is carnival time in the region and the streets are filled with colourful processions. During March the Easter processions begin culminating in the Easter celebrations in April with the celebration of the bloodless ‘Carnation’ Revolution.
