Sightseeing
A Portuguese natural wonder awaits on a headland a few minutes south of the old centre of Lagos.
The Ponta da Piedade has cliffs, outcrops and stacks of red and yellow limestone rising to 20 metres, with gnarled walls and shimmering transparent water below.
If you come on a boat or kayak tour from the marina in Lagos you’ll get to pass under natural arches and enter caves.
But on foot is almost as memorable as you’ll descend a staircase cut from the cliff face, while at the top the view from this headland goes as far as the Cape St Vincent in the west.

Castle of Governors
An heritage from the Portuguese discoveries of the world.
This maritime fort is at the mouth of the river, defending the harbour and former anchorage from pirates attacks.
It dates to the end of the 17th century and is one of a line of forts, redoubts and batteries erected in the wake of the Portuguese Restoration War, which raged for almost 30 years between Portugal and Spain.
This building is from a time of sophisticated artillery, so has a low profile and not much decoration.
But to enter you have to cross a drawbridge, and there’s an endearing chapel inside with period tiles.
The roof has bartizans at each corner, and there are views of the rocky coast to the south and Meia Praia on the other side of the river.

Considered by many the best beach in the World!
One of the closest beaches to the old centre of Lagos is also up there with the finest in the area.
Praia de Dona Ana is just up from Praia do Camilo and is framed by those enchanting cliffs, streaked with yellow and red.
There are also outcrops on the water’s edge and out in the bay, bringing some extra drama to the scenery.
And the waters are almost always tranquil thanks to the protection of the rocks and the eastern aspect.

Not a typical day at the beach, Praia do Camilo next to Ponta da Piedade is a fabulous cove at the foot of ochre-tinged cliffs.
It’s an adventure just to get there as you have to descend some 200 steps on a safe wooden stairway etched into the rock.
Before heading down, be sure to pause and take in the azure ocean golden sands and the captivating red and yellow hues of the rocks.
The water is as calm as it gets, and you can swim round or walk through a natural tunnel to a neighbouring cove.
And when the tide goes out you can walk out to the caves in the bay.

Starting on the left bank of the river is a beach that could hardly be more different to the rocky coves on the other side of Lagos.
Meia Praia is immense, curling gently around the bay for six kilometres to the Alvor Lagoon.
There’s a wide arc of luxurious sand that because of its sheer size never feels over-crowded.
This is edged by dunes and shelves gently to the water.

The Fort of Sagres is located on a dramatic, narrow headland that juts out into the Atlantic Ocean to form Portugal's most south-westerly point. It dates back to the 15th Century, a time when the Portuguese coast was often the target of raids from the Barbary pirates who heralded from the nearby North African shores.

Things to Do
Despite its huge tourist infrastructure Lagos remains a city with an absorbing story to tell, so you might be keen to make the most of attractions like this.
The museum is in a side building for the Igreja de Santo António and was inaugurated in 1934. Every chapter of the area’s past is covered, from the Neolithic period, through the Luso-Iberians, Romans and Moors to the Age of Discovery.
There’s a scale model of the city, numerous coins, tools for traditional local trades like cork production and a sumptuous collection of religious art from the church’s sacristy.

Kids will get up close to animals from five continents at this zoo a few kilometres away from the city.
Birds make up more than half of the 350 inhabitants, and are kept in clean, well-presented and relatively large aviaries.
The parrot family is well represented here, with African greys, military macaws, parakeets and cockatiels.
As for mammals the park has a small farm where children can meet and pet the dwarf goats and sheep, and an enclosure where you can interact with playful lemurs for an extra fee.
There are also more than a dozen monkey species, several wild cats and a variety of turtles and tortoises.

If you’re holidaying with your family and want to escape the midday sun, there’s a neat science museum in the centre of Lagos.
This is in Casa Fogaça, an 18th-century manor house, and maps out all of the innovations that made the Portuguese Age of Discovery possible.
There are interactive displays that explain cartography, shipbuilding and astronomy.

From the outside you might wonder how this church could be listed as a Portuguese National Monument.
There’s an unadorned whitewashed facade crested by two bell-towers, but this gives way to a resplendent nave.
Every surface is coated with detailed gilded woodcarving, azulejos or paintings.
The frescos in the ceiling vaults are a standout, and the paintings on the walls depict the life of St Anthony of Lisbon.

Although you’re never guaranteed to see dolphins in the waters off Lagos you’ll have a great chance on an expedition.
Most of the cruise companies in the harbour use are on quick and eco-friendly RIBs (rigid-hulled inflatable boats) and normally last for two hours.
You’ll don a wind-resistant jacket and power out to the open ocean with an skipper who will be relying on tips from other vessels, and expertise to track down pods of the porpoises, bottlenose dolphins, common dolphins and Risso’s dolphins that live here.
Most companies claim there’s a 90% chance of seeing a dolphin, and you’ll know why you made the effort the second you glimpse one.

여행 팁

Watersports
Nearly all the beaches near Lagos face east so are protected from the open ocean.
But on the other side of the Ponta da Piedade there are rolling waves, and novice surfers can learn the basics at Praia Porto de Mós.
On calmer days you could hire a stand-up paddleboard or body board for a few hours of fun.
East of Lagos is the Alvor Lagoon, which is the Algarve’s kite-surfing honeypot.
This is down to the lagoon’s calm and shallow waters, combined with the steady coastal breezes.
