Big weekend coming up!

It is Carvoeiros Saints Day and will culminate in a big firework display Sunday night/Monday morning at about 00.15.

Lots going on before that.

It is so nice of the residents of CVO to arrange a festival just because I'm arriving

Seriously biffa, where are the best vantage points to watch the fireworks and what else will be happening?

Can't wait

Fireworks usually launched on the headland near the church but you will see them from most anywhere. Of course the square is a good spot.

There will be a mixture of religious and social activities. These include the blessing of the fishing boats and a procession from the church.

I wil try and get the programme and post it.

Now don't pick on Falcon!
I think he looks quite young on his photo!. Have a nice birthday, I'll look out for you in the square. Thanks for the info Biffa, it will be quite surreal walking round trying to guess who is who - and getting it wrong

I will be the short brunette with three children and a husband in tow, but probably swaying from side to side (me not the kids)

Cant' wait, hope the weather is still nice, and my sympathies for anyone who has to stay behind in the UK.

I think the procession is about 7.15 on Sunday night followed by music in the square

Which pic were you looking at Tricky? All I could see were a pair of big.............................shades

Eyes are the windows of the soul - how about a pic without shades or anything else you might wanna take off Falcon ?:P
