Easter and Holy Week

Easter and Holy Week symbolize a time of peace, love and hope, where we celebrate the arrival of spring through different local traditions and remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ through various religious ceremonies and church functions.

It is also time to celebrate life and feelings such as overcoming and renewed confidence in a bright future. On Easter Sunday, in the Algarve, family celebrations are mostly around the table, in the comfort of home. The tradition implies eating goat or lamb, broad beans flavoured with mint and homemade sausages. The sponge cake, the sweet “folar”, decorated with eggs, and the honey “folar”, are some of the traditional sweets of this festive season, including the almonds covered with sugar or chocolate.

Engel & Völkers Albufeira wishes you a Easter season full of love and health and that your home is filled with joy and the sweetest temptations!
