Loulé is preparing for Easter Sunday when a major religious celebration in honour of Our Lady of Piety (Mãe Soberana) will take place.
The event attracts thousands of people to the city each year to see the procession descending the Cerro da Piedade, carrying the statue of Our Lady of Piety, and heading towards São Francisco Church.
The procession is expected to start at around 5pm and finish at the church at around 6pm. The procession will be followed by a Mass.
