The Marina de Lagos is situated within walking distance of the picturesque town centre of Lagos which for two centuries was the region's capital and home port of many explorers who charted the routes to India. The old part with its cobbled streets and flower decked squares have been beautifully restored. There are various markets selling fresh fish, meat and vegetables, a good selection of boutiques, potteries, gift shops. During the summer time street entertainers add to the evening atmosphere providing enjoyment for both children and adults. There are a good selection of restaurants with a vast variety of Portuguese/International cuisine and magnificent fine Portuguese wines. Along the coastline close to the town there are beautiful sandy beaches and impressive rock formations which years of work by the sea has formed these impressive caves and stacks from the cliffs. There are daily boat trips around these caves, the larger boats offering a day trip including lunch on board.
