Alcoutim awaits you!

Just about ready for kickoff on Friday.  It’s a free 3-day mix of live music on 2 riverside stages, with over 20 performances over the weekend.

The first annual Guadiana International Music Festival took place in late October 2013 with musicians from Alcoutim, Portugal and Sanlúcar de Guadiana, Spain, on the banks of the magnificent Rio Guadiana, in the Algarve.

The festival is a way for international residents to ‘give something back’ to our host communities. Visiting sailors, immigrants and residents volunteer in co-operation with Câmara Municipal de Alcoutim to help keep the villages vibrant and welcoming to visitors, throughout the year.
