THIS LITTLE couple from Crêche Girassol in Faro was among hundreds of children from nurseries and kindergartens in Faro who took part in a Mini Santa parade in downtown Faro on Thursday. As well as providing plenty of fun and quite a spectacle, this annual event aims to promote the city’s traditional shopping area. Similar parades took place in Olhão, Albufeira, Monchique and in Vila Real de Santo António this week.
