June is full of activity!
This week I received the Cultural Agendas of June the Tourism Office sends us every month. It was so full of activities that you must stay a long time to do everything in it! There is something for everyone this month (and throughout the summer) - here are some of the highlights, but you should really check out the pages of the City Hall for more information (www.cm-sintra.pt).
THE 44th EDITION OF FESTIVAL DE SINTRA runs 5/6 - 5/7. Lots of classical music, dance and opera performances. Some of the highlights are the Spanish National Ballet at the Olga Cadaval and the Opera Tosca of Puccini at the Queluz Palace. All the venues are at different palaces which alone adds to the magic - jazz, piano, violin, orchestras....
NIGHTS IN THE MUSEUM - The archeological museum of Odrinhas welcomes the visitors recreating the Roman times in candle light, escorted by people dressed as Romans. June 20th.
AFTERNOONS IN THE SQUARE - A series of performances in the Square of the Sintra National Palace promise to make this place even more attractive. With a varied program, these performances will take place at 5 pm every Saturday until July 25 and will include light orchestras, choral and classical music groups, and a dance group performing Historical dances.
ROMAN FAIR - As it is already a tradition this fair promises a lot. 27/6 until the end of July - Medieval Gladiator Tournaments on horseback, military camp and drills, Roman acrobatic dances, children's games, music, continuous entertainment...
JAZZ NIGHTS - for the 2nd consequtive year, all June Saturdays at 22hours in the gardens in front of the Library (and close to the train station) the City Hall has organized free Jazz concerts. Please check the City Hall pages for a list of the performers.
And there is A LOT more - Art exhibitions, rollerskating at the City Park, theater and a book-fair to name a few. Sintra has really thought of all of us and tried to make it interesting to spend a few days here, whether it be with a family or friends.
