Advantages: A Great Atmospheric Town Bubbling with Life and Colour Disadvantages: None
so soft and golden. In winter my husband used to run every morning the whole length of the bay and sometimes he would never meet another soul. There are bars along the expanse of the beach which are very simple made from wood with bamboo roofs. In the evenings I always loved to go to a beach bar for a simple meal, sit out and look at the ocean's waves silently coming into the shore. Sometimes we would walk back slowly collecting shells and filling our pockets to the brim. Other times we would race each other to see who could get to the rocks first. Yes, I did win once! Happy memories.
The ancient port of Lagos has a long and troubled history. It was a very important centre on this section of coast, primarily because it served as the main trading post for slaves from Africa. In 1443, under the arcades of the Casada Alfandega by the Praca ...
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: tree lined streets bars and cafe Disadvantages: does get steep in places.
Lagos, pronounced lagoosh is situated on Portugal's Algarve region,
A beautiful place, with at one end a Castle which sits on the see edge,(now a museum), and at the other a superb boating harbour, which is accessible via a small bridge or drive to it, taking the first left after the roundabout next to the Monopoly super market.
At the waters edge, there is a large promenade made of small cobbles, each one laid by hand by an army of workers, the prom is lined with palm trees, and plenty of seating stops, perfect to sit and watch the world go by, take a glance over the sea wall, and watch a fall array of fish and small squid feeding of the underwater vegetation.
A note of warning, keep children's hands away from the tree bark, it cuts skin easily.
The beach is accessed via two main points, one just pasted the Castle, some ...

Casa da Moura is situated inside the ramparts and scarcely within 5 minutes walking distance of the town centre of Lagos and several beaches.We Tried to include this project in the cultures that were left in this region by the moor, owing to the fact that a great part of the materials used in the construction of Casa da Moura were imported from Morocco.
