SandCity

Sítio dos Lombos, Lagoa

SandCity is an outdoor sand-sculpture exhibition in Lagoa, the current home of the project previously known as FIESA. It suits families interested in large-scale art, recognisable figures and a gentler outing between beach or park days. Use the Lagoa location rather than an old FIESA address in Pêra.
