During the Moorish Nights, the Algarve village of Cacela Velha recreates the ambience of the Arab presence in the region from the 10th-13th centuries.
As well as a traditional souk market with goods from Magreb and the Algarve demonstrating the Moorish heritage, there is folkloric music, dance, discussions and traditional gastronomy. For four nights there is a restaurant with an Arabic menu, serving delights such as harina (traditional soup) and pastilha de frango com amêndoas (chicken and almond pasty) followed by fruit and accompanied by the obligatory green tea.
