Held every two years, the Islamic Festival of Mértola expects, in this edition, to host about 40 thousand visitors.
It is a true trip to the past and has already become a cultural reference that attracts thousands of people, whether for animation, commerce or gastronomy: the Islamic Festival of Mértola ends this Sunday.
The scenario is perfect, dismissing any effort to realize the mix of cultures that helped shape the present. History is told by itself in this event that is already a cultural landmark.
With more than a hundred salespeople inside the Souk – the name given to traditional markets in the north of Africa cities – you can find it a little, as in these ancestral markets.
In addition to commerce, the festival also offers several workshops, spaces to recover energy and a lot of animation.
