Lagos

Lagos is 80km from the district capital Faro. The city boasts a 4.5km long stretch of unspoilt golden beach, Meia Praia and many more exclusive beaches carved out over the centuries by the Atlantic from the surrounding cliffs.

Lagos city is centuries old with seafaring tradition dating back to the 15th century, rich in its history being the departure port of great navigators before they set out in voyages of discovery. Much of the ancient walls are still untouched including an ancient fortress which still stands guard over the harbour entrance. Since Lagos has grown to be a youthful town with a delightful charm of its own. The ancient maze of cobbled streets co-exist happily with the likes of the elegant Marina, vast amounts of restaurants and bars,pavement cafes, shops and an exciting night life.

Over and above the many water sports that can be practised along the Western Algarve, many other activities available in Lagos include parachuting,microlighting, bike tours, horseback riding, dolphin watching and much much more.

Praia Da Luz

The holiday scene in Lagos is hardly hectic but is lively compared with the seaside villages along the coast. Praia Da Luz welcomes those who want a fairly get-away-from-it-all sort of family holiday with all the essential comforts but not too much razzamatazz.

Of the coastal villages to the west of Lagos, Praia Da Luz is the most developed, with many luxury holiday accommodations, yet maintaining its original fishing village charm, many cafes, restaurants and boats on offer as well as a good selection of water sports on the beach.
