Reason 1 – For the charm of its old town<\/h2>\n\n

We loved discovering the old town of Lagos. With its charming squares and pastel buildings, it’s an inviting place to stroll and relax. Some of the houses, decorated with colorful mosaics, add to the charm of the historic center. Handicraft stores lurk around the cobbled streets, selling ceramics and local specialities. Bordered by the Ribeira de Bensafrim and adjacent to the marina, this area is perfect for a stroll. Go in search of the poetic sculptures scattered around the city!See more photos.<\/a><\/p>\n\n

Reason 2 – For its magnificent golden beaches<\/h2>\n\n

The beaches of Lagos are among the most beautiful in the Algarve, in our opinion. We fell under the spell of these stretches of golden sand bordered by impressive cliffs. Between swimming and lounging, you can enjoy water sports such as the Praia do Porto de M\u00f3s<\/em>, an ideal surfing spot. Some beaches are no longer accessible on foot, but only by boat. From the steep cliffs, be sure to follow the marked wooden walkways, as there is a risk of falling. The rock is crumbling.<\/p>\n\n

Reason 3 – For its boat trips to Ponta de Piedade<\/h2>\n\n

The Ponta de Piedade boat tour is the must-do activity in Lagos! We were amazed by the breathtaking view of the Costa D’Oiro<\/em> from the sea. There’s something for everyone: kayak, speed boat or catamaran! Guided tours usually include plenty of time for photos and refreshing dips in the turquoise waters. Who knows, you might even catch a glimpse of dolphins?<\/p>\n\n
