Why Lagos matters
Lagos is the Algarve at its best. A walled old town with cobbled streets sits beside a marina, and just beyond it the coast breaks into golden cliffs, arches and tiny beaches. Boat trips and kayaks head into sea caves, and sunsets from the headlands are famous. It has a buzzing nightlife, but also quiet corners for a slow breakfast.
Talking points
- Sea caves and arches line the coast.
- Boat and kayak tours explore them.
- Sunsets from Ponta da Piedade are famous.
