1st May - Labour Day: National holiday and there are lots of activities organized at Bentos by the Odeleite stream

May - Festa do Caracol (Festival of the Snail): Unfortunately for the snails it isn't to celebrate their life, but their taste! Evidently they taste better in May!

It is a long standing tradition of the region and restaurants throughout the municipality will be taking part.

Fair of handicrafts and produce in Castro Marim: Normally organized in July, showing the crafts, like lace-making, embroidery and basketry and local products such as goats cheese, honey and cured sausages. Maybe also the local liquors like aguardente!
