Lagos is the third largest town in the Algarve and steeped in history, dating back to the Moorish invasion. The old part of the town, where the original walls of the town remain, has been beautifully restored with its cobbled streets and flower decked squares. Lagos was the home port of many explorers who first charted the spice routes to India, along with the very first slave market in Europe, the building where the slave auctions took place can be seen today selling arts and crafts. In the town centre boutiques and antique shops sell copper, brass and pewter whilst the terrific variety of restaurants, bars and cafes offer mouth watering menus and thirst quenching local and international beers and wines.
