The 27th edition of the Fisherman's Festival in Albufeira celebrated the tradition of fishing activity with several initiatives that allowed participants to learn about the lives of fishermen. The event included the setting up of a museum on the beach sand, where boats, nets and other fishing utensils were exhibited, complemented by stories told by fishermen.
The cultural component of the event featured a photo exhibition by artist Artur Pastor, who captured moments of Algarve fishing life. The images allowed visitors to immerse themselves in the past of this economic activity so important to the region.
José Cid was the chosen artist to close the three-day program of the festival, bringing his performance to the event's stage. The Portuguese singer and songwriter took to the stage for the closing concert, completing the musical lineup of this edition.
