CM Loulé | Loulé Criativo: Opening of traditional workshops

About

Since 2015, the Municipality of Loulé has been working on creative tourism, having supported the creation of a network of partners. The Loulé Criativo project, coordinated by the local authority, is based on building value from the area’s traditions and identity, as a driving force behind creativity and innovation. Loulé Criativo supports training and artisans activities and creative professionals, contributing to the revitalization of traditional arts and to the promotion of new approaches to the intangible heritage. The design of Loulé Criativo has several strands: creative tourism, which offers a program of immersive experiences in the local culture; the Area of Creativity and Arts and Crafts (ECOA), which aims to provide space and infrastructure for training; and Loulé Design Lab, currently in an installation phase, which aims to support the incubation of entrepreneurs related to the area of production and design and creative residencies.

Online Workshop: Fig Star – creative experience

Algarve

  The Fig from the Mediterranean is highly energetic and rich in sugar. After Sun-dried, this fruit doesn’t lose its properties. Filled with almonds and roasted in the oven, this delicacy is traditional from the Algarve.   In this online workshop we will prepare a dried Fig Star from the Algarve.   The workshop starts with the presentation of our partner Ana Figueiras and an explanation of the ingredients to be used and all the preparation that will take place. Afterwards we will get to work and prepare the ingredients to make the Fig Stars.   We will, then, taste the Stars in the end :-)
