Afternoon leisure in Praia do Torel
Is an initiative of the administration of Santo Antonio district, with the support of various sponsors. Every August, the 18th century artificial lake of the Jardim do Torel is transformed into a public swimming pool, as well as its surroundings, covered with sand and equipped with sun umbrellas, becoming a beach. This festive event has given rise to many other recreational initiatives, including open-air cinema, the programming of activities for children, a climbing wall, gym classes, the installation of food tracks, etc.
