Festa da Lapa at Paúl do Mar Harbour.
Grilled limpets, cold beer and live music fill the harbour during Paúl do Mar's biggest celebration.

If there's one weekend to visit Paúl do Mar, this is it. The harbour comes alive for Madeira's famous limpet festival with great food, live music and a brilliant village atmosphere.

Feast on grilled lapas, octopus, gaiado and local specialities while regional bands and DJs keep the party going long into the night. More than a food festival, it's a homecoming that draws Paulenses back from around the world every summer.
