Children and youngsters between the ages of 6 and 14 will be able to participate in this competition after a prior enrolment at the island’s camping park reception.
This event will also include an “Atelier de Construção na Areia” (Sand Construction Workshop) where those who are interested will have the opportunity to improve their skills concerning the art of moulding the sand.
