At the beginning of July there is an unmissable event in the town, the Templar market of Burgo do Faro. During a weekend, in the promenade of Burgo, the Middle Ages is relived. The village of Burgo de Faro comes to life again. A great number of stalls, medieval characters, parades and other shows await for everyone who dares to travel back in time and become, for a while, an inhabitant of the Middle Ages.

The origin of this festival dates back to the XII century. According to several documents, the so-called Burgo de Faro was present in the Middle Ages in what we know today as O Burgo e O Temple. Medieval place where the Templars settled and contributed to its prosperity, until its decline began.

Since its first edition, in 2008, it is continuously increasing its “population”. Go for it, it’s worth it!
