After experiencing Feria for a day or two Erica and I decided that we wanted to take advantage of our week of vacation and do a little bit of traveling. We loved Portugal so much when we traveled to Lisbon so we decided to make a return to the country. We booked a hostel and bus tickets for Lagos, Portugal and away we went.
Lagos is a beautiful beach town on the southern coast of Portugal. It was the perfect place for a short beach vacation. The town is situated above the coastline on high, beautiful red and yellow rock cliffs overlooking the clear, aquamarine ocean. Between the amazing rock formations, brilliant water and blooming flowers there was so much vibrant color in Lagos and it was spectacular. Little secluded beaches are tucked into coves and are only accessible via a cliff walk that runs along the top edge with stairs leading down to the sand. We tried a different beach each day and they were all peaceful and secluded, ideal for relaxing. Besides lying on the beach, we walked the streets of Lagos, ate fabulous Portuguese food and took a cave/cove boat tour guided by a Portuguese fisherman. Overall I liked Lisbon better but if you ever find yourself in Portugal with the opportunity to spend some time in Lagos, I highly recommend it.
