Lagos is steeped in history with its centuries old fortress commanding a prominent position at the entrance to the river Bensafrim and the town, watching over the fisherman and their boats. Once an old slave market town, Lagos still has various markets selling fresh fish, meat and other fresh produce. There is a wide choice of boutiques, potteries and gift shops. Lagos offers an excellent choice of restaurants and bars, which will tempt you out for lunch, or dinner. You should try bar/restaurant O Galeão or the Italia. The new Marina, ’Marina de Lagos’ and the magnificent promenade straddles the front of this ancient town, along with its flower decked squares full of character and charm. The beautiful, endless sandy stretch of beach ‘Meia Praia’ is only a few minutes drive away; or take a boat trip from the Ponta da Piedade and explore the magnificent rock formations Grottos, a taste of which can be found within our brochure!
