Feira do Folar – Portuguese Easter Cake Fair
The XXIV Feira do Folar (Portuguese Easter Cake Fair) is going to take place in São Marcos da Serra from the 15th to the 17th of April.
Dedicated to celebrating Folar in its different forms and flavors, the event brings together several traditional producers, who not only make folar, but also a large variety of typical products, ranging from sweets, liqueurs and medronho, as well as a series of other productions.
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.
Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy the delicacies, music and joy that the Feira do Folar de São Marcos da Serra has to offer.

Literary Event - Thursday, 15th November, 2007

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.
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.**
