Historical interest and beauty combine in this gorgeous Portuguese town, which offers a swathe of gorgeous beaches, bars, restaurants and shops.  The town, arguably, offers everything a tourist might desire from a summer holiday destination.

Lagos – pronounced “lah-goosh” – rests on the bank of the Rio Bensafrim, where 16th Century walls surround the resorts picturesque cobbled streets and old buildings, which stand proudly beside the more contemporary structures that compose the main drag.  If you desire a Portuguese location that offers great restaurants, exquisite beaches and a throbbing nightlife, Lagos should certainly make your shortlist. 

This is a resort of contrasts, where backpackers and surfer types fill the streets and beaches, yet holiday makers of a typically more discerning nature visit the many historical landmarks before visiting the more sophisticated nightspots available.

Of course, no mention of Lagos would be complete without a second or two to note the resort’s fabulous beaches.  The golden coastline stretches for miles, and offers curious rock formations as well as two accessible beaches to enable visitors with impaired mobility to enjoy the glorious sand and water.
