We decided it was time to catch up on
some culture, so a visit to the Museu de Portimao seemed a good idea. It is
housed in an old Sardine canning factory down on the river front in Portimao.
It is situated next to the Yacht Club
and has good parking.
The man who greeted us seemed familiar
to us and indeed he was on duty at the site at Alcalar when we visited
there.
The first room we went into was a
special display of the history of the Portuguese guitar.
A very interesting display of
the instruments and the making of them and film of some of
the Famous artists who play them.
The rest of the Museum is dedicated to the Sardine processing industry and all it's side shoots including packaging and canning. Lots of original machinery and of course the original factory floor with all its washing and processing systems. A very well constructed Museum and well worth a visit
