The Algarve, Portugal's south facing Atlantic coast, is one of Europe's favourite holiday destinations and Lagos is situated towards the south west of the Algarve. This beautiful town, steeped in history of seafaring voyages, is a magnet for tourists. There are a variety of beaches ranging from vast sandy expanses, which are swept clean by Atlantic tides and small coves with spectacular rock formations, some of these coves can only be reached by boat. In the summer the Algarve weather is as hot as in any Mediterranean resort and the winters are pleasantly mild. Inland, there is pretty countryside and villages barely touched by tourism. The Monchique hills add interest, while historic sights like the town of Silves are well worth a visit. Both on the coast and inland there are plenty of excellent golf courses.
