Algarve, Portugal. Festival of Sand.steemCreated with Sketch.

in travel •  8 years ago 

Hello to all friends of Steemit, today I will talk about a very special trip made with my wife and my son last year: The Algarve, southern Portugal.
We visited them with a strange wonder. In Pera, a tiny village in the countryside, is every year the Sand Festival, where dozens of artists build beautiful sand sculptures. The Pera Festival is the most important in the world for this type of art ...
Now I'll show you these wonders ...

It's incredible, I wonder how it make to hold the sand. Anyway thanks for sharing you had to spend a good day.

Amazing!

Amazing place and wonderful pictures, thanks for sharing

Wow, @salva82! These are all made out of sand!? Incredible! Any chance you know how long they last? Do they destroy them at the end of the festival or keep them standing? As these are all music related, I also wonder if they have a theme every year... Anyways, what a great experience. Thanks for sharing!

@salva82 Woah! Beautiful! Did you get a chance to see how they are made? A number of them seem large enough that they would need some kind of scaffolding to allow the artists access without treading on their creations I would think? They look incredible thanks for sharing!
