View across Meia Praia to Lagos

The Old Town of Lagos is in The West Algarve situated on The Bay of Lagos, half an hours from the most westerly point of Europe – Cape St.Vincent.

Lagos (2 miles from our villa) is a beautiful, walled town and full of
pretty old buildings. There is a mass of restaurants, bars and interesting
little shops. The local produce market offers a huge choice of fish, flowers
and fresh fruit, and it is still possible to eat a delicious, simple seafood
meal with wine for around 8 or 10 Euros per head.

All sporting facilities are within easy reach. The Lagos beaches offer
sailing, windsurfing, water ski-ing and jet ski-ing. There are several
tennis courts within 3 miles and Palmares golf course is five miles
from the house.
