What's open on Carnival in Faro?

Carnival in Portugal is an optional public holiday — many banks and offices close, but supermarkets and shops trade, and big parades run in Torres Vedras and Ovar. In Faro, city-centre venues are most likely to deviate from national patterns — check individual branches.
