The flavors of the sea are once again highlighted in Quarteira with another edition of “Petiscos do Pescador”, an initiative that takes place between the 29th and 31st of May at Jardim Filipe Jonas.
Organized by QUARPESCA – Association of Shipowners and Fishermen of Quarteira, with the support of and the Parish Council of Quarteira, the event changes location this year due to works at the Municipal Market, next to Passeio das Dunas.
According to the organization, Jardim Filipe Jonas was chosen because it is “a larger, more comfortable space designed to welcome all those who cannot do without a good time at the table”.
The initiative is part of the Fisherman’s Day celebrations, celebrated on May 31, and brings together the local fishing community once again in the preparation of traditional dishes linked to the sea.
