The Algarve / West Algarve region

Lagos is the third largest town in the Algarve, straddling the river Bensafrim and surrounded by beautiful, unspoilt countryside. It is a lively, cozy town with a maze of winding cobbled streets full of pavement restaurants, local cafés, bars, antique and art shops, and what must be one of the world's best stocked fish markets. It is also rich in culture and history, and is widely regarded as the most charming town of the Algarve.

Lagos has an excellent nightlife centred around the old town, but merely wandering through the maze of winding streets soaking up the atmosphere is entertainment enough. Jazz and Blues lovers of live music must not miss an evening out at the famouse Stevie Ray's club.

There is a fine sandy beach in town beneath the imposing wall of the ancient Fortress which still stands guard over the harbour entrance, but perhaps the most impressive beach in the area is Meia Praia, a 5 kilometre stretch of golden sand. It begins on the eastern side of the railway station and has watersport facilities, sun-beds and sun shades for hire. The string of small beaches on the western side of Lagos including the picturesque Praia D´Ana and Porto de Mós appeal to those who prefer smaller more intimate coves, although some can only be reached by boat or by the famous cliff walk which is only recommended for the sure-footed. A short boat trip from Lagos takes you round the rock formations and grottoes of Ponta da Piedade, between Luz and Lagos. The boats depart from Praia D`Ana.

Boat (day) trips to Sagres give you the possibility of seeing the beautiful coast line from Lagos to Sagres. These trips start from the pontoon in the marina. Why not take a trip out from the marina and Dolphin watch on one of the two large high speed Ribs boats; a fantastic experience.


Further information on places to go and other attractions in and around Lagos or further afield are available as an information pack inside the apartment. You can also pre purchase family theme park tickets at discounted prices - please ask for details.


Nearest Beaches: Meia Praia (1km) Praia D Ana (arguably one of the most famous Algarve beaches) and Porto De Mos are just 3 minutes drive away.

Golf Courses within a 30 minute drive of the apartment include: - Palmares (1km), Boavista, Parque da Floresta (8km) & Penina - all 18 hole Championship Golf Courses.


Lagos / Meia Praia area

And finally for those of you who are interested in the regions rich culture and history you won't be disappointed. Discover quaint villages set on the seafront such as Salema, or tucked away in the hills, the charming walled port of Lagos with its handsome marina and 17th century Fort, the lovely spa town of Caldes de Monchique is well worth a visit and ancient Silves with its Moorish castle. Further west lies the historic town of Sagres and clifftop Cape St Vincent, Europe's most southerly point amongst many, many more.
