Hosted by
LAGOS MMFEST
LAGOS MMFEST returns for its 2026 edition: three evenings of modern music by the sea at the Miradouro da Praia da Luz, on 14, 15 and 16 August.
The festival is organised by the Orquestra Ligeira de Lagos and closes the week of the Lagos Music Summer Camp, with the camp's young musicians opening the main stage on 14 August, followed at 20:00 by Bom Balanco, who bring jazz together with Latin and Brazilian rhythms on the Rocha Negra stage. On 15 August, Femme Falafel arrive with a universe where jazz, hip-hop, disco, house and Brazilian popular music meet.
The full lineup and daily times are being announced by the organisers through the summer on their Instagram, @lagosmmfest.

“Ponta da Piedade is one of my favourite places around Lagos — breathtaking views, beautiful turquoise waters and amazing rock formations. I never get tired of seeing it! 🌊❤️”
A blue green reservoir folded into the hills north of Lagos, with dam-top views, quiet trails and not a beach bar in sight. Twenty minutes from the coast, the Bravura dam holds a lake that winds between eucalyptus and cork slopes, and almost nobody makes the detour. Cross the dam wall for the classic view down the valley, then pick up the dirt tracks along the shore for an hour of walking with only goat bells for company. Water levels swing with the rains, so the shoreline can look dramatic in dry years. There is no café and no lifeguard, which is precisely why it stays calm. Drive up via Odiáxere, take a picnic, and save the viewpoint by the dam gates for golden hour.
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.
Ask it here. People who live in the Algarve answer, and no question is too small.
