Every year, Caramulo Motorfestival drags more than 30 thousand people, for three days, to Serra do Caramulo, to see or participate in what is the largest motorized festival in Portugal.
The event features tastings, tours, exhibitions, market and demonstrations, in addition to around 40 events simultaneously. Below, we present the numbers of the 2018 edition, the biggest ever, which illustrate well the size of the team and the logistics required to raise each Caramulo Motorfestival.
