    <title>Summer Fun and Festivals</title>
    <link></link>
    <description>With the summer sunshine comes a host of festivals from the traditional to the quirky. Whichever region you are visiting you&#39;ll find festivals celebrating Portugal&#39;s music, culture, food and environment. 

Lisbon&#39;s popular Festival of the Oceans runs from the 2nd to 16th August with live music, shows, dramatic diving displays and regattas. 

Down in the Algarve this August there&#39;s plenty to entertain you from Silves&#39; pretty medieval fair (9th to 17th) and the spectacular sand sculpture festival in Pera to aerial acrobatics in Albufeira on the 17th and midnight swimming at Lagos&#39; bathing festival on the 19th.

If you&#39;ve been overindulging in tasty nibbles and fine wines then go to your nearest beach in the early evening and chances are you&#39;ll find a free beach aerobics class underway.
Have a great holiday!</description>

    <title>Get ready for Carnival!</title>
    <link>http://www.portugal-sport-and-adventure.com/map-of-portugal.html</link>
    <description>Carnival comes to Portugal the first weekend in February. So it&#39;s time to shake off the winter blues and start practising your samba! Portuguese carnivals are usually a mix of samba dancers (sometimes semi-naked Brazilian girls), fancy dress, non stop partying and, often satirical, floats. The kids get a day off school and everything stops as towns celebrate.

So if you&#39;re in Portugal don&#39;t miss out on all the fun. There are carnivals in many towns across the country. Among the best are:
Torres Vedras, Loule, Batalha, Nazare, Ovar, Figueira da Foz, Estarreja, Podence and Funchal (Madeira)

Have fun...

p.s. not sure where these towns are follow the link below to a map of Portugal</description>
