The Lagos Music Summer Camp is an immersive week of musical training for young musicians aged 12 and up, run by the Orquestra Ligeira de Lagos from 10 to 14 August 2026 at the Escola EB 2,3 Tecnopolis in Lagos.
Over five days and 33 hours, ten tutors lead instrument lessons, combo rehearsals, improvisation sessions, workshops and masterclasses, covering voice, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, guitar, piano, bass and double bass, and drums. Masterclasses also take in an introduction to DJing, social media as an artistic portfolio, and rhythm and harmony fundamentals.
On the final day the students take to the main stage of LAGOS MMFEST at Praia da Luz for a real concert in front of a real audience. Places are limited; rules and registration are on the organiser's website.

“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.
