 【四年一度的托籃節 (Festa dos Tabuleiros)】

托籃節 (Festa dos Tabuleiros) 是托馬市 (Tomar) 最重要、最盛大的節慶，富有悠久歷史。我很慶幸已到過兩次托籃節。要知道，這個節慶是四年才舉辦一次啊！

下屆的托籃節將在明年 (2023年)舉行，如果您現在已經正在籌備明年到葡萄牙旅遊的話，記得抽空參與，親身感受一下葡萄牙的濃厚節日氣氛啊！

《葡萄牙自由行 ～ 里斯本和附近城鎮》旅遊指南內 9-23至9-27頁有介紹托馬這個城鎮及托籃節盛事。

Guess what the three women were doing?

這是古鎮Tomar, 有沒有人知道, 相片左手邊為何有個銅像是三位女人，她們頭上頂著很高的東西呢？:-)

這幾天我在Tomar, 參與四年一度的大型節慶, 叫作 Festa dos Tabuleiros。節慶從7月4日至13日，高潮在11-12日兩天, 市中心舉行多項活動，包括有大型巡遊、表演、放煙花等。這兩天裡 Tomar 鎮中心全擠滿了本地和來自各地的旅客，氣氛非常熱鬧。市中心多條街道被布置得極之美麗，擁滿拍照的遊客，各間食店也被擠得水泄不通。

這個節慶是我暫時在葡萄牙看過的多個節慶中，最精彩的。:-)

I'm in Tomar these few days, watched the famous "Festa dos Tabuleiros" (Festival of the Trays) that takes place once every four years.

The festival this time lasted for 10 days, from 4th to 13th of July 2015, the climax was on the 11th and 12th, when there were various activities including huge processions, street performance and fireworks etc. The town centre was all packed with locals and tourists. Streets and alleys are beautifully decorated and crammed with tourists, same to many estaurants and cafés.

This is so far the most spectacular festival in Portugal that I have watched.smile emoticon
