The summer festival, the Festas de Nossa Senhora de Agonia is held in late August. The women wear their colourful regional dress and famous gold adornments as part of a florid procession which makes its way down to the sea to the sound of pounding drums.
Visit the Santa Luzia Temple which overlooks the town. The vernacular railway leaves from near the roundabout near the conspicuous hospital, visit the temple and the museum at the rear to climb up to the zimborium (the balcony above the dome).
