ST SEBASTIAN’S CHAPEL, ERICEIRA

This chapel was constructed during the 15th and 16th centuries and is located near the beaches of Algodio and São Sebastião.

Traditionally, at the end of January each year, there is a festival in honour of St. Sebastian and St. Vincent. These festivities are also known locally as the “Drunks’ Festival” because, after mass has been celebrated, the locals get together in the church square to dance, eat cake and drink red wine from the barrels brought here for the event.
