Carnival in Torres Vedras is a  very popular party .
 People come from everywhere to participate in the festivities - they come from the north to the south of Portugal and there is  also a lot of popular music, played by musicians that come from Amarante, a town from the northern part of Portugal.
 Giant figures, called "cabeçudos" or "gigantones"  are an attraction,too.
