– May 3, 2022
Silves’s Castle received once again the “Regional 5 Stars Award” in the category “National Monuments”, being one of the seven icons selected for the Algarve region, alongside the Cataplana dish, the Algarve orange, the region of Estoi, the Ria Formosa Natural Park, Praia da Rocha Beach and the Monchique hills.
“It’s a great pride to have the Silves’s Castle win once again,” stated Silves mayor Rosa Palma. It is also a double win for the borough, as among the winners of the ‘Portuguese Traditional Products’ is the Algarve orange, with half of its production coming from Silves.
The “Regional 5 Stars Award” measures the degree of quality and satisfaction that products, services, and Portuguese original brands provide to customers. The awards’ evaluation follows the criteria of the five main variables that influence customers’ purchasing decisions.
Winners were selected through national voting, with citizens invited to select what Portugal has best via an inquiry.
In this edition, 425,000 Portuguese customers voted across 912 brands and national icons.
