Lagos.........

17th Century fort and tumbledown walls guard the harbour entrance of Lagos, an exciting mix of old and new Portugal. It has classic flower-decked squares and whitewashed buildings – and a magnificent new marina.

The small town beach, just beyond the fort, is often uncrowded: there’s always space at Meia Praia, to the east. You can get there by car, bus, taxi or ferry in high season.

Cocktails are popular in the plentiful bars, the measures are generous and most stay open until 02:00 or later.  Lagos has plenty of restaurants to tempt you, what’s more the quality of the food on offer and the excellent value will have you spoilt for choice.

Out and about.........

 

Portugal’s sunny south coast has a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and some of the best beaches in Europe. The coastline is stunning – long stretches of golden sands which shelve gently into refreshing seas and secluded bays framed by red sandstone cliffs (a good example of these bays can be found only five minutes form the apartment).  The waters are perfect for swimming snorkelling, (We recommend Praia da Rocha for snorkelling).
