February Workshops & Shared Experiences in the Algarve

Algarve artist collective Arte em Movimento have launched a three‑month exhibition, supporting community well‑being, at Casa do Compromisso Marítimo in Ferragudo.

Crowds of all ages turned up in droves on the Thursday before Christmas, with more than 450 people gathering at the Amphitheatre behind the Chapel “Nossa Senhora de Encarnação” for joyful community singing of traditional Christmas carols. Our SIXTH glorious year!

On Christmas Day, December 25th, 2025, there will be a Catholic Mass in English at 10:15 AM at the Igreja de Santiago in Tavira, East Algarve. This is a great opportunity for English speaking residents or tourists who wish to celebrate Mass in their own language, on this special day.

Congratulations to Filly Carter, Martha O’Grady, and Mila Cassagne on passing a total of 16 Association of British Riding School riding and horse care tests, examined by Mrs. Bev McHale.

As the year draws to a close, Figs on the Funcho is delighted to host its final community events for 2025. This year has been a milestone for us, proudly celebrating our World Luxury Travel Award for Eco-Friendly Glamping 2025 and our recognition at the Algarve Business Awards — winners in Tourism & Hospitality and runners-up in both the Sustainability and Marketing categories.
