Visit Algarve with a local

Metalhead where are you? Do you wanna bang heads with me? Came to join my trip to enjoy some metal and at the same time know a new place and the peculariaties of the portuguese culture in many diferent ways. So, attention metalheads, this is a warning to the community that would like to get to know Faro, and a little of the Algarve and add that to an even more memorable experience. I'm going to introduce you to Al-Metal, a recent local festival, which is in its 2nd edition, this year, in addition to Portuguese bands, there will be some international bands, such as SAOR, directly from Scotland, and for the first time in Portugal. Spanish band Noctem, Dread Sovereign from Ireland and Gospelheim directly from Manchester. This festival is comprehensive, with diversity in metal. Here there will be heavy, death, thrash, some gothic and symphonic bands, as well as black metal. Let's get to know them??!

About me! Hello, my name is Carolina, I'm 29 years old. I don't have a YouTube channel, WhatsApp, or mostly any social platform (just Facebook and Instagram). Connected with the real world, curious about traditions, history and cultural heritage, I love exploring both my native country and beyond its borders. Graduated in Agronomy, I am somehow connected to the land, and in recent years I have lived close to the sea, which has shown me very different lifestyles in such a small space like the Algarve. It was here, in the interior of the Algarve mountains that, through friends, I discovered the underground and its varied musical styles and became interested in the movement. Over the years I got to know more and more, and to this day I continue in an incessant process of discovery. That's why I decided to share these experiences, in order to achieve the maximum in multisensory experiences.

Details about the accommodation: I rented an apartment in Faro, with two bedrooms with twin beds and one bedroom with a double bed. Two bathrooms and kitchen for common use, you can make your own meals, majority the breakfast. Common terrace, Wifi, TV and Hairdyer. The residence is well located in relation to the city and the festival space. Keep me posted in the Q&A section in case you have questions about the trip!
