Pelo nono ano consecutivo, o ciclo “O Filme Francês do Mês” está de regresso a Portimão para celebrar o melhor da produção cinematográfica gaulesa. A iniciativa, que resulta de uma parceria entre a Alliance Française do Algarve e o Grupo dos Amigos do Museu de Portimão (GAMP), tem como objetivo estreitar os laços culturais com o associativismo local e divulgar grandes êxitos na “língua de Molière” junto do público algarvio. O programa visa também atrair a crescente comunidade francesa que reside ou visita o Algarve, oferecendo uma oportunidade de intercâmbio cultural e de contacto com a história e o património regionais através do espaço do Museu. A edição de 2026 reúne uma seleção diversificada de sete filmes que representam a vitalidade do cinema francês contemporâneo. As sessões decorrem sempre às 21h00, no Auditório do Museu de Portimão, com entrada gratuita e filmes legendados em português. O ciclo inicia-se a 29 de janeiro com a longa-metragem“Une affaire de principe” (2024). Um thriller realizado por Antoine Raimbault, baseado em factos reais sobre uma conspiração nas instituições europeias em Bruxelas. Até setembro, o público poderá ainda assistir aos seguintes filmes: 26 de fevereiro – “Le Royaume”, de Julien Colonna; 26 de março – “Le dernier des juifs”, de Noé Debré; 30 de abril – “Le quatrième mur”, de David Oelhoffen; 28 de maio – “Mélodie en sous-sol”, de Henri Verneuil; 25 de junho – “Fragile”, de Emma Benestan; 24 de setembro – “Fifi”, de Paul Saintillan e Jeanne Aslan.

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.

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.

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.

Ask the locals, share what’s on and keep up with life in Portimão.
Ask it here. People who live in the Algarve answer, and no question is too small.
