Lagos was once the capital of the old province of the Algarve and was an important ship building town and port, thanks partly to Henry the Navigator.   Today it still has the feel of a pleasant compact town which has retained its own character and has a host of historic buildings and monuments. Many of the streets are now pedestrianised and lined with intriguing shops and a plethora of restaurants and cafes with tables outside. The waterfront promenade offers a wonderful stroll to the ultra modern yacht marina near the fishing harbour.

Lagos boasts 9 beautiful beaches, from the long sweeping golden sands of Meia Praia to the coved seclusion of Praia do Camilo, the range is vast.  It offers a balance of the charm and history of the Portuguese culture with a blend of creature comforts and facilities to please the desires of the most discerning visitor.  The warmth of Lagos and her people make it difficult to resist falling in love with this seaside town.
