São Marcos da Serra is known for its mountain characteristics and for the manufacture of bread and “Folar”, the most traditional Easter “cake” which complements any table with its scent of cinnamon and fennel, made from a dough leavened with baker’s yeast and decorated with whole eggs.

The programme includes concerts, religious celebrations, choirs, folkloric bands, dances, traditional games, the exhibition “Vamos ser Geoparque Algarvensis” (patent at the Lifelong Education Pole of São Marcos da Serra) and lots of street entertainment.

Literary Event - Thursday, 15th November, 2007


Eça de Queiroz

Considered one of the greatest novelists of the 19th century José Maria Eça de Queiroz, or simply Eça de Queiroz as he is better known, was born in 1845 in Póvoa de Varzim, a small fishing town, as the illegitimate son of a prominent magistrate.
Author of several novels, most translated into English, Eça published great works of literature, some of which would not go into print until after his death in 1900. Among others The Maias, one of his best known novels, was written during his 15 years working as a consul in England, a country he often analysed as fiercely as he did his own.

A great observer and a critic, Eça’s writing is stylish but not heavy. With a great dosage of humour and a pinch of cynicism, his novels and texts are far from belonging in the past. While reading his work one realises, almost shockingly, that the past is still happening today.


Find out more

On November 15th 2007, Dr. Ana Luísa Vilela, a lecturer at the University of Évora will be at the Hotel Garbe to unveil the author behind the books. Holding a doctorate in Portuguese Literature and having specialised in Queiroz's work, Dr. Ana Vilela has published various articles about this author in Portugal and abroad.

This is a great opportunity for everyone who wants to take a closer look at Portugal and its society: looking at the past to understand the present. For those of you who are already familiar with Eça’s works – and many books have been sold here in the Algarve – this is an excellent opportunity to learn a bit more.


Times as follows:

10.30am: Introduction and documentary about Eça de Queiroz
12.30pm: Lunch
2pm: Talk about Eça's life and work followed by time for discussion and questions.


Ticket Price: 34€ (includes lunch) - available from Magna Carta Bookshop
Tel. 282 496 001
**Booking in advance is necessary.
Please book your place at the event by 5th November.**

Play Bridge at the Hotel Garbe

The 2007/08 season for the Hotel Garbe Bridge Club has commenced.

The Club meets every Saturday at 2.00pm in the Chelb room in the Hotel Garbe in Armacao de Pera.

At 27 years old, it is the oldest Bridge Club in the Algarve.

Everyone is welcome.

For more information pleased telephone Finola Gibson on 282 312873

Middle Eastern Dancing

The popular Middle Eastern (Bellydance) Dancing classes have resumed in the Raj at the Garbe after the summer break. New students are already enrolling for the beginner’s level class which is held on alternate Monday afternoons from 2-4 p.m.

If you have always fancied yourself swirling chiffon veils why not come along and have a go or surprise someone you know would love to take part and book a session for them. It could be a fabulous idea for a present.

Intermediate level classes are continuing on alternate Saturday mornings as before from 10-12. Pupils with some experience in dance are welcome to join in.


A new beginner’s level class might be in the pipeline to follow the Saturday session.

If you are interested please contact Jeanette on 286512679.

Private lessons can also be arranged.
