The Luz Cinema is a small, unassuming venue tucked into the village that shows current films in their original language with Portuguese subtitles — a rarity in the Algarve, where dubbing is the norm only in children's films but where most rural cinemas have simply closed. The screen is modest, the seats are comfortable, and tickets are cheap.
It's the kind of place that exists because a community of long-term British and other foreign residents wanted somewhere to see a film without driving to Lagos or Portimão. On a windy evening when the beach is no fun, it's an easy way to pass two hours.
