Free screening for the Play international children's and youth film festival, Auditório Municipal de Albufeira.

Organisers and venues can claim Festival Play: International Children's Film Festival, Albufeira free of charge to manage the listing, add photos and tickets, and host it under their business.
Planning to attend? No claim needed. Just mark yourself as going.
Festival Play is Lisbon's international children's and youth film festival, and its Albufeira leg brings a free quarterly screening to the Auditório Municipal. The films are curated for young audiences and chosen to expose children to stories and perspectives from around the world, building the habit of going to the cinema from an early age. The September session opens with Snow Flake (Copito de Nieve), an 86-minute Spanish feature from 2011 aimed at children aged 6 and up. Doors are at 15:30. Entry is free. It is a low-cost, easy outing for families in Albufeira looking for something other than the beach on a September Saturday, and the festival returns to the same auditorium later in the autumn with further titles.

Beautiful viewpoint, walking trails, AND beach. Truly a wonderful gem.
The spring pools at the foot of Alte village, where cold water, stone picnic tables and big shade trees make the classic inland picnic spot. Fonte Grande and Fonte Pequena have watered Alte for centuries, and the walled pools and cobbled terraces around them are still where village life happens: christenings, São João festivities and long Sunday lunches in the shade. The stream runs cool even in August, and children paddle in the shallow channels below the weir. Verses by Cândido Guerreiro, the village poet, are tiled onto the walls by the water. Follow the stream path east for ten minutes to reach the small Vinagre waterfall, at its best after winter rain. Park at the edge of the village and walk down; mornings are quietest.
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.
