The Regional Directorate of Culture of the Algarve (DRCAlg), inaugurates this Thursday, May 25, at 18:00, in the Municipal Auditorium of Olhão, the photographic exhibition “Journey to the Algarve”, integrated in the “Saramago Literary Route in the Algarve”.
This is a project by the association 1/4 Escuro, Association of Amateur Photographers of Vila Real de Santo António (VRSA), supported by DRCAlg, and carried out in collaboration with the José Saramago Foundation, and the Algarve Tourism Board, which now has the reception of the Municipality of Olhão.
The moment will also be marked by the presentation, by DRCAlg, of Olhão's literary itinerary, the “Saramago Literary Route in the Algarve”. The “Journey to the Algarve” exhibition, which is part of the Olhão Book Fair programme, has already been to Vila Real de Santo António, Castro Marim and Lepe (Huelva), and will cover all the municipalities that make up the “Saramago Literary Route” in the Algarve".
«These projects constitute an opportunity to make known a territory that inspired several writers, namely the places, monuments, landscapes, flavors and people, but also to promote the Algarve as a destination for literary tourism», says the Regional Directorate of Culture.
The motto for creating the itineraries was the desire to reflect on the Algarve's territory.
The Algarve photographer André Boto, distinguished by FEP – FEderation of Professional European Photographers, as “European Photographer of the Year”, in 2023, participates in the project with the photograph of Silves and with the editing of the remaining photographs selected for the exhibition.
