Lagos Holidays

A Charming Resort Full Of Tradition And History...

Lagos holidays are different to your average tourist resort holidays - They are located in a prominent walled town on the south west coast of Portugal and capture a charm unseen in many identikit beach resorts. Unlike many of the purpose built resorts elsewhere, here in Lagos you will find tradition and history around every corner and get a real sense of Portuguese heritage. Seafarers set sail in the 14th century from Lagos and discovered the west coast of Africa, and today you will see many monuments around the town marking their achievements.

In the pedestrianised town centre you will find narrow cobbled streets leading into squares decked out in flowers where you can enjoy a refreshing drink in the beautiful Algarve sun. There's also a 17th century fort, a pretty marina and an exceptional monthly market to explore on your Lagos holidays. The area is also a wine making region, famed in particular for producing muscatel wine, yet despite its alcoholic traditions the nightlife here manages to remain nice and modest with a handful of cocktail bars and just a few nightclubs.

Excellent Windsurfing, Glorious Beaches And Fine Dining...

The coastline that surrounds Lagos is popular with windsurfers and is stunningly rugged with gorgeous little coves, beaches scattered with rocks and some glorious sandy stretches of beach, the most popular of which is called the 'Meia Praia', which is to the east of the town. Most people who spend their holidays in Lagos stay either in apartments or hotels on a bed and breakfast basis only as there's so much to see and enjoy that it would be wasteful to stay purely at a hotel. And there is a great choice of restaurants to eat out at on an evening, however if you do feel the need to explore the Portuguese coast still further, then you can catch buses easily to Sagres in the west and Portimao to the east.

See Portugal at its finest by visiting this highly sought after resort - you certainly won't be left feeling disappointed. Book holidays to Lagos online here at Late Deals.
