Have you ever been to Lagos?

Lagos is an absolutely stunning city in the Algarve. With many beaches, some bigger, others smaller, but all of them incredibly wonderful, Lagos is the ideal place for a relaxing holiday.

With incredible rock formations on the beaches, but without that limiting our freedom in the water, Lagos is a true Paradise on earth. You can swim freely, but wherever you look you will see a different set of rocks. What a work of nature!

Lagos also have, in addition to its fabulous beaches, a fascinating center and a very pleasant marina. Rich in tradition, there you can find some truly traditional shops!

Another strong point of Lagos is its food. It is amazing how all of its restaurants continue to delight us, and how cheap it is to eat in such central locations! Variety and quality is not lacking here.

During your stay in Lagos you can try several water sports that are so frequently promoted, and for those who like animals you can also have a lot of fun as Lagos has a charming Zoo!

It is definitely worth a visit!
