Lagos is the 3rd largest town in the Algarve. The old part with its cobbled streets and flower decked squares has been beautifully restored. For 2 centuries it was the region's capital and home port of many explorers who charted the routes to India. The town has various markets selling fresh fish, meat and vegetables. A good selection of boutiques, potteries, gift shops & restaurants offering local and foreign shopping. Street entertainers add to the evening atmosphere providing enjoyment for both children and adults. Along the coastline to the town there are beautiful sandy beaches. To the east is Meia Praia stretching for miles towards Palmares golf courses and Alvor. To the west there are many little beaches including the famous Praia D'Ana and impressive rock formations called the 'grottos' where years of work by the sea has informed these impressive caves and stacks from the cliffs.
