This is an event celebrating the knowledge and flavors of the Algarve, reinvented for this event, which has proved to be highly appreciated by visitors, who do not stop to increase with each edition», says Luís Brito, president of the Teia D'Impulsos association, who , for nine years, has been running this event.
The Rota do Petisco program also includes a set of satellite initiatives, which enrich the event's quality offer. O Sul Informação will take care of these initiatives, so stay tuned.
