Lagos Portugal a haven of quality Self-catering holiday accommodation
Everything is a 100% the Carma in Lagos run the town in a very astute and professional manner. Because visits have being coming here for many years every service required for a successful holiday is provide. Carhire, bike hire,boat hire, boat trips particularly to the Grottos, coffee shops of all shapes and sizes and indeed quite a few nationalities. Restaurants Thai, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Portuguese, Italian, English, Irish, German, French, and Ukraine.
Out door sports golf, water sports galore, horse riding, motor sport track, off road, fishing beach, and deep sea, tennis. A wide range of inner sports activities.
Experiencing of joys of Lagos on the Western end of the Algarve in Portugal. There is no doubt southern European countries like Spain and Portugal is only are great place to live. But a holiday here be in a hotel or the now very popular self-catering holiday option has a lot going for it. Today we are looking at Lagos which is first and foremost a residential town for 10s of thousand of Portuguese and expats and secondly a very popular holiday resort. Part of its holiday attraction is its geographical position, on one side the splendid resort of Alvor, and on the other the renowned resort of Praia de Luz.
Because of its size Lagos has a greater selection of restaurants having said that both Alvor and Praia do Luz have some excellent restaurants. Alvor certainly has more Irish pubs last count I think there were four. If you stole through Alvor in the summer months you will hear the Irish visitors accents coupled with other Europeans. Where as in Praia do Luz visitors from England and Scotland are most of the accents to be heard. On the other hand there is a complete mix of accents. Of course England and Scotland some Irish. But also German coming and going and the French have arrived in numbers. Nowadays in can see the odd Belgium accent. Lagos as a substantial town can accommodate the increase in populations. The large numbers of hotel and self-catering holiday rental accommodation can ensure a comfortable place to stay.
Lagos is a fantastic town that can certainly be enjoyed by all age groups. It is full of historical interest with it's origins dating as far back as 2000 years BC when it was known as Lacobriga. Lagos has always had a seafaring connection, originally visited by Phoenicians and Carthaginians and then, during the 15th century, was the base for the 'voyages of the Discoveries' instigated by Henry the Navigator when trade between Africa and Portugal brought a great deal of wealth into the town.
The older part of Lagos is still circled by the city walls that were constructed during the 16th century when it was the residence of the governors of the Algarve and the fort, Ponta da Bandeira, by Batata beach is part of the 17th century fortifications that were added to protect the town. Behind it (on the opposite side of the road) is the Porta de São Gonçalo (St.Gonçalo’s gate) with a watchtower on either side and just to the right of this is the Governors' Castle (of Arab construction).
