Wonderful beach and in November we had one almost to ourselves. There is also a parking lot at the top right on the beach. But you can also hike along the coast. There are many other beautiful beaches nearby.

Historic Center of Lagos

Highlight • Historical Site

Fortunately, the center of Lagos is traffic-calmed, so that nothing stands in the way of a tranquil city stroll.

The day began among the streets of multi-ethnic and picturesque Lagos enlivened by shops, cafes, restaurants and numerous street art.
Visit to the museum and the square in front where the African slave trade took place.
After passing some small beaches I reached Ponta Piedade, a magnificent bay of golden-yellow rock formations.
A spectacular scenographic effect awaits me created by …

Our second tour today took us to Lagos, where we first went on a short hike to Ponta da Piedade and then explored the old town of Lagos.
Both very beautiful! 🥰
Unfortunately, in two places you couldn't use the stairs down to the bays, but that wasn't a problem, there were others 😊.

Arrived in Luz yesterday, rain this morning, then to Lagos for a city tour and then along the rocky coast to Ponta da Piedade, the southern tip of Lagos. Instead of going through the Wallahei, we walked comfortably over wooden walkways. 😀

I was expecting an easy coastal hike. In fact, it was at least partly a scramble and jungle tour. I was on the road for four hours, I must have approached every little ledge, down the 192 steps to the grottos at Ponta da Piedade ;-) and only took a break at the Mar restaurant (and ate a much too …

March 10, 2023,[PT] Lagos - zum Leuchtturm und Ponta da Piedade zurück in die Altstadt

What you logically do in Lagos: you walk the rocky coast in the direction of Luz quite comfortably, mostly on wooden plank walkways, and get intoxicated by the fantastic views!

In between you can get to some small beaches by stairs, which is a bit strenuous (226 and 190 steps), but absolutely worthwhile. TOTALLY GREAT!!!
