Singer and instrumentalist Verónica Monteiro, born in Faro and now based in Silves, closes out the 2026 Animação de Verão season at the Fortaleza de Armação de Pêra. Performing in duo format alongside musician Tony Sousa, she works through an eclectic repertoire spanning Portuguese popular song and sounds drawn from further afield.
As the final date of Silves council's free summer concert run inside the fortress, it caps a programme that has also included fado, folk and looped rock-pop sets across July and August.
Entry is free and the show starts at 22:00, inside the small fort on Armação de Pêra's seafront.

Beautiful viewpoint, walking trails, AND beach. Truly a wonderful gem.
Silves' whitewashed old bridge and the riverside beneath the castle, best at low tide when egrets stalk the Arade mudflats. Everyone climbs to the red castle; far fewer linger on the river. The multi-arched Ponte Velha, medieval on older foundations and long nicknamed the Roman bridge, still carries foot traffic across the Arade, and the banks around it are Silves at its most local: anglers, café tables, market mornings and storks clattering on the chimneys. At low tide the river drops to channels where egrets and waders feed, with the castle and cathedral stacked above the whitewash behind. Cross to the south bank in late afternoon for the view back over town, then take a table near the municipal market as the light turns orange.
A quiet municipal park at Estômbar where freshwater springs meet the tidal Arade, with a tide mill, boardwalks and a stone amphitheatre. Sítio das Fontes is where Lagoa locals go for Sunday picnics while visitors queue for boat trips a few kilometres downstream. Springs bubble into a pool beside the restored tide mill, boardwalk paths loop through marsh and woodland, and egrets and waders work the estuary flats. A small amphitheatre built into the hillside hosts occasional concerts. It is an easy, level wander rather than a hike, which makes it a good outing with children or grandparents in tow. Follow the signs from Estômbar village; late afternoon brings the best light over the marsh, and picnic tables sit under the trees.
