What better place to hold the 3 day event than in one of the Algarve's Natural beauty spots of Lagao, due to the fact that the Portuguese are a warm friendly nation with family values seen throughout Portugal even with children keeping the tradition of greeting with a hand shake or being greeted with a kiss on each cheek.
