Just received notification from the Lagos Council that up to 30 000 people are expected to attend a performance by the Catalan Group "Gnosis" on the Avenida in Lagos on the evening of Sunday, 29th August 2010.
"...Uma vez que a organização prevê uma larga adesão de público a este evento, esperando-se mais de 30 mil pessoas na Frente Ribeirinha de Lagos, será desaconselhável a circulação automóvel na Avenida dos Descobrimentos a partir do final dos dias 28 e 29, uma vez que a mesma será encerrada ao trânsito no dia do espectáculo e no dia anterior, para permitir a realização de ensaios e do próprio espectáculo (Dia 28 - entre as 20h e as 23h | Dia 29 – entre as 20h e as 00h30)."
The Council has advised that the Avenida will be closed from 20:00 on both evenings.
I strongly recommend that if anyone is planning to come to Lagos on those nights that they be prepared to walk a considerable distance and park either on the marina side of the river or well up by the Football stadium by Mcdonalds.
