Advantages: A Great Atmospheric Town Bubbling with Life and Colour Disadvantages: None
a Portuguese team is playing. Portugal is a country where football rules and even thirty years ago when the Algarve was quite poor you could always find a TV in every bar blaring away.
I prefer to visit the marina in winter and my favourite bar is Joe's at the very end. I don't actually think it is called Joe's but that is the name of the guy who owns the bar and I have always known him as Joe. Here you can sit outside in a covered conservatory with a huge gas heater blowing as you drink a glass of Portuguese red while watching the ever changing colours of the town's lights and the sleepy activity on the boats. If you fancy a bite to eat there is a superb Chinese restaurant above Joe's bar. The food is tasty and the service is speedy which in the Algarve is a miracle.
Before I take you for a tour of the town I just want to mention the old Lagos ...
Advantages: sunny!! friendly, relaxed, picturesque Disadvantages: can be a bit too hot, not much shade, constantly people trying to sell daytrips
on a hotel or resort/holiday destination, is Holiday Watchdog, which tells the whole truth and nothing but the truth on every detail and quetion posible.
PERSONAL TIP:
dont go to the chinese restaurant in the centre of lagos! terrible service, cramped room with tables right beside each other and they laughed at us when we spoke!!!!!
-----MY EXPERIENCE-----
I went to Lagos for a week with my boyfriend last summer. It was a brilliant experience! You pronounce Lagos as Lagosh. The currency is in Euros.
About an hours drive in the bus from Faro airport. Pleasant jouney in the Thomson bus provided. Brief tour involved in this journey as the holiday rep gives details on the area and interesting facts, I still remember that talk to this day.
Lagos seems to thrive on tourism as everything is aimed at tourists. Hotels and appartments ...

Advantages: Good value afternoon tea Disadvantages: Slow service
Recently one of my favourite things is afternoon tea. You would think that living in London it would be easy to find somewhere to have tea and scones. Living in London it is usually fairly easy to find whatever food I feel like eating, no matter how exotic that food is but it seems that finding somewhere where you can have afternoon tea that doesn't cost upwards of £25 is close to impossible! I was even considering paying the £38 that it costs to have afternoon tea at the ritz but fortunately before I managed to book a table a friend of mine suggested we have afternoon tea at Browns. I agreed, thinking that she meant the hotel and that I would still be paying over £30 for tea. Fortunately the place she had in mind was Browns Restaurant and Bar, not Browns hotel.
It has now become a regular thing for me and my friend to meet ...
