On the 14th of April, at 10:00 am, the Route of the Octopus takes place. The activity consists of a historical-ethnographic walk through the fishing village of Santa Luzia, the “Capital of the octopus”.
From the fishing port, where the boats arrive daily from the sea with the octopus, the village next to the Ria Formosa will be visited to
appreciate the local fauna, the boats, the different fishing gear and live with the fishermen.
On the 15th of April, at 10:00 am, the Tuna-Barrel Route takes place. The visit takes place at Praia do Barril, in Santa Luzia, where, between 1841 and 1966, there was a tuna fishing trap called “Barril or Três Irmãos”.
«This is a unique space, full of stories. With this action, it is possible to get to know the old spaces for work and leisure – the bosses’ house, the fishermen’s house, warehouses and the “anchor cemetery” – where the fishermen and their families lived during the six months of the fishing season», says the autarchy.
Both routes are aimed at children and young people (children from 7 years old), with a maximum number of 15 participants each.
