If the American west coast is famous for its music, the Algarve’s west coast is also bidding for its own rock ‘n’ roll reputation.
This weekend brings the two-day Under The Radar festival of rock, blues and surf music to Vale da Telha, on a coastal plateau outside Aljezur, within earshot of the Atlantic Ocean.
We’re pleased to presente a new Flamenco evening at Herdade da Corte with “Sonando a Huelva” Cante Flamenco with a great variety of the different styles of Fandango, Estribos & Sevillanas.

Join us for one of our bike rides through the Algarve countryside, on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays throughout the year. See details below.
I am going to make the next three Saturday rides a bit longer than usual, so that these rides can serve as training rides for anyone registered to go on our Rota Vicentina tour in mid November. Anyone else can also attend if they would like a longer than usual ride.

Starting November 3, 2018, the internationally renowned high-wrap tapestry artist Françoise Devroede will exhibit her wall tapestries in the "Galeria Municipal" of São Brás de Alportel. After those of the monastery of Alcobaça and Almancil it will be her third exhibition in Portugal of authentic hand made high-wrap wall tapestries.
The Algarveans Experimental Theatre Group have again chosen a play that is thought-provoking but at the same time brings together much humour, courage and even a courtroom drama.
The play Whose Life Is It Anyway?, by Brian Clark, presents the issue of what type of care to give people who are alive in a conscious state but whose level of human activity is impaired drastically. When the person concerned states, as in Whose Life Is It Anyway?, that she does not wish to live an impaired life with mechanical support systems, what judgment should be made? Following an accident Claire Harrison lies paralysed in hospital where the medical staff are committed to keeping her alive and comfortable. But, she claims she has the right to die, backing up her request with skillful reasoning.
On the 17th November Chef Rodolfo Guzmán joins Chef Hans Neuner for a unique 4-hands gastronomic experience at the Ocean Restaurant, Vila Vita Parc in Porches.
