The western Algarve has so much to see & do in such a wonderful climate!
Lagos town still retains much of its historical interest. From 1576 to 1756 it was the capital of Algarve and nowadays is the 3rd largest town of this region. Here it is possible to walk around the old city walls, some dating back to the 15th & 16th centuries and then of course, there is the wonderful, outstanding natural coastline to admire specially by the 'Ponta da Piedade' lighthouse - where you can also go on a boat trip to visit the natural caves. Tourism blends in well with local life. Narrow cobbled streets, cafes with tables and chairs spilling onto the street, the Old Fort, the new Marina, etc...
Luz village is a well established family resort just 10km West of Lagos & has been popular for many years. It has a good, wide sandy beach with various water sports facilities, several relaxed restaurants and a few shops & bars. Luz retains the charm & character of a traditional Portuguese fishing village.
