In the south of Lagos is Ponta da Piedade, a series of highly weathered cliffs that are lined with spectacular caves, arches, sea caves and are considered the finest natural feature of the Algarve.

The spacious Marina, which is connected to the inner city via a walkway, offers all the water sports options you can imagine. The big supermarkets are open 7 days a week. There is a modern (private) hospital, golf courses and since 2004 an excellent motorway connecting Faro to Lisbon.

Lagos, the pearl of the Algarve....... this town has retained its small scale and atmosphere. The cozy terraces, restaurants and small shops are fitted in a natural way. The friendly local population makes it complete. They give Lagos that special and relaxing appeal.
