Míscaros - Mushroom Festival

Alcaide
A tribute to Autumn and to one of its most emblematic products.

This year the 9th edition of the Mushroom festival Miscaros is taking place between the 17 and 19 November in the village of Alcaide, municipality of Fundão, in the district of Castelo Branco.

During these days, visitors will be able to enjoy mycological walks and marvel at the surrounding nature of the Serra da Gardunha hillside,  along with exhibitions, workshops, mushroom shows and entertainment,  tasting different ways of preparing mushrooms and other regional specialities.

The Festival is totally ecological, as a contribution towards the sustainability of nature.
