If you're here in the Algarve this weekend, you'd feel the city of Faro change gears. Quarteira-born Dino D'Santiago comes home Saturday night to open the MOCHILA Festival, the University throws its first ever Queima das Fitas at Estádio do Algarve, and over in Tavira the Spirit of the Dance tour lands for one night only. Three things in three towns, all on Saturday May 2.

On Tuesday 5th May, the Algarve Archaeological Association (AAA) will be presenting two lectures, in English, by Maria de Jesus Duran Kremer, PhD. The first lecture will be at 2.30pm at the Museu do Traje in São Bras de Alportel, the second lecture will be at 6pm at the Convento de São José in Lagoa.

Opening today, April 30th at the Palácio Gama Lobo, ceramic artist Catarina Gonçalves presents "Fragmentos de Memória" (Traces of Memory), a solo exhibition exploring the intersection of natural erosion, intuitive form, and the quiet rituals of stoneware.

If you're here in the Algarve this weekend, Portugal marks 52 years since the Carnation Revolution on Saturday with brass bands, raised flags and red carnations in every lapel! PLUS there are free concerts, the 12th Spring Showcase, a Walking Festival and MORE!

On 16 May 2026, the Lagos Cultural Centre will host an event dedicated to transformation and the power of ideas.
