Fiesa, in Armação de Pêra, Algarve, is home to 40,000 tons of sand transformed into impressive sculptures that this year are inspired by a musical theme.
Stars including Elvis Presley, BB King, Frank Zappa, Bono, Madonna and David Bowie can all be seen at the festival, along with hundreds of other tributes to musical genres like jazz, pop and rock, scenes from the cinema and music videos, and even instrument creations.
The exhibition further comprises restaurant and leisure areas, a children’s play area, video projections and games and competitions relating to the sculptures.
Fiesa, which attracts thousands of visitors every year, is open every day from 10am to midnight.
