The soloists of the Algarve Orchestra present an unusual line-up for this chamber music concert: a wind quartet comprising Joaquim Moita on bassoon, Luís Miguel Garcia on flute, Emídio Costa on clarinet, and André Gomes on horn. In an era dominated by Rossini’s operas, Schubert would surely have heard many arrangements of his operas performed by small ensembles such as the wind quartet. We therefore pay tribute to him by performing the masterful slow movement from his principal string quartet, ‘Death and the Maiden’, written in 1824. Finally, to showcase the sounds of our own times, the wind quartet will perform a tango by Daniel Dorff, composed in 1990 for clarinet quartet, which was so successful that the composer had to write more than a dozen versions for other instrumental ensembles. Tonight’s version is the 14th.

A necropolis of 5,000 year old monumental tombs in farmland behind Alvor, with a walk-in burial mound at its heart. Alcalar was the ceremonial centre of a Copper Age community that farmed this corner of the Algarve, and restored Monument 7 is the showpiece: a stone mound with a low passage leading to a corbelled chamber, engineering from around 3000 BC that you can peer into from the entrance corridor. Several more tombs lie around it in various states of excavation, and a small interpretation centre sets the scene. Few people come, so you will likely share the site only with larks and the wind. It is signposted from Mexilhoeira Grande off the N125; combine it with lunch in Alvor or Figueira.

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.
