Christmas at the Municipal Museum

From the 18th to the 20th of December, the municipality promotes the “Christmas at the Municipal Museum of Tavira” program, which includes three workshops: “Candies”, “Traditional Toys and Cane” and the “Traditional Christian Nativity Scene”.

The initiatives are aimed at children aged between 6 and 12 years old.

Day 18 | 10:00

Candy Workshop

Sweets are associated with special moments, and should be consumed in moderation and sporadically, particularly at Christmas.

In this workshop, the youngest will learn how to make chocolates with local ingredients and how to build a box to carry them.
