Have you ever tried your hand at sand sculpturing? If your answer is no, then you might want to know more about it's past and how enjoyable it can be playing with sand. Revisit your childhood memories and remember the time when you used water and sand to build sand castles.

FIESA is a mega exhibition of sand sculptures held by Prosandart since 2003 in Pera, Algarve, that in each new edition is dedicated to a different theme. Every year, a group of talented sculptors, from various parts of the world and experts in the art of sand sculpting, join to give shape to thirty-five thousand tons of sand, in an area of fifteen thousand square meters. This year, it's FIESA 2011 - and it's the ninth time that the Algarve will have seen the exhibit that's become famous the world over.
The theme for 2011 was the Animal Kingdom, and everyone had so much fun making sculptures that resembled their favorite animal. Animals from adult and children's fiction alike were celebrated, and the concern is for the preservation of species going extinct right now. Scenes were made in the sand of animals in danger of dying out, living in their habitat naturally. A very poignant look into what the human species really think of the animals we inhabit the planet with. The festival will open April 15 and be available until June 15th for people to watch how the sculptures are built.
In Portugal, Algarve is a fantastic place. It is very near to the Faro district and city of Faro. Algarve is a tourist center in Portugal and very popular place in Europe. Algarve is the third richest place and it is no wonder why so many people love to spend their quality time looking at sand castles in a gorgeous area like this.
