I'm going to Sao Miguel in the Azores for a few days at the end of September, then getting on a plane and hitting Lisbon, Algarve and Faro.
I'll be there from September 23-October 5.
Does anyone know of anything special going on at that time or have links to any good websites to check out?

Places to go, places to avoid ... that kind of thing.
I've never been to mainland Portugal before, so any tips are appreciated. If there's a site that she knows of that has a list of upcoming events that I could check out, that would be cool.
Thanks!

not sure about events, but make sure to check out the Gulbenkian Museum in lisbon while you're there. it's a surprisingly great little museum.
it's been a few years since i've been to the acores, but i remember a nice little festival in faial called 'semana do mar.' not sure if it's in august or september though...

Well now, I was in Lisbon last year and it was ace. Truly lovely city with some really nice people. I asked for recommendations on here and got a few, check it out below. I also recommend a place called restaurant eleven, but only for lunch as I hear the dinner menu is quite pricey. The lunch menu was great, the place is fairly swank and it has an absolutely gorgeous view of the city.
I also recommend getting a 'Hedonists Guide to Lisbon' its a fairly crappy name for the guidebook but much better than a lonely planet.
Things I would recomemnd is getting up to the castle and checking out the guilbenkian museum (i stayed right near it), also go up to Bairro Alto for the nightlife but watch out for the cheap cocktails, we went from 5.50 per drink to 3 euro. Now they were lovely, but at that price we overindulged a little and the next day was painful to say the least.

Portugal's not in September. It's on the Iberian peninsula.

They have an inline skating competition in Lagos around September time, I went about 3 years ago. Very entertaining, theres also some good surf comps around that area.
