The idea of seeing the future is a peculiar one. Perhaps because, in order to see it, we must first learn to look at what we have left behind. Not as someone returning, but as someone who recognises a trail and realises that it, too, continues to move.
The 5th PEDRA DURA, Algarve Dance Festival returns to various venues across the city of Lagos, from 4 to 14 November. For eleven days, we’ll be coming together at all hours to savour, together, what we call the moment. There will be dozens of performances, concerts, DJ sets, masterclasses, exhibitions and other initiatives, with something for all ages centred around dance. A programme that invites us to pause, look, experiment and discover new ways of relating to places, things and people. Because perhaps the future does not lie ahead of us. Perhaps it is merely a trail that crosses our path.

“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.
