Great popularity among tourists Lagos acquired thanks to its magnificent beaches and beautiful rocky cliffs. The trip was to this portuguese city that were offered my friends who once managed to visit here, inspired by his picturesque species and decided to return to Lagos again. For me, it was the first trip to the ocean, so there was a biggest interest in the waters of the Atlantic, on the other hand, in Portugal, I also arrived for the first time, and I wanted to visit the largest number of famous sights.
Hotel We booked in advance. The most famous beach in the city "Kamila", we tried to choose accommodation as close as possible to it. To the shore you need to go down the large wooden staircase, from where they open up just stunning views of the rocks and the ocean.
The coast is sandy, there are no chaise lounges and umbrellas. Against the background of the majestic rocks, it seems that we are halfway to paradise))
The water was pretty cool, who wanted to swim were not very much, but it did not stop me. Your first bathing in the ocean, I, of course, will remember for life.
Lagos is a small and very cozy town. The streets are narrow and clean, due to the fact that cars of local residents are parked everywhere, it is extremely difficult to quell up with passing cars or cyclists. There are a large number of diverse cafes and restaurants, at every step, souvenir shops and shops selling essentials and essential goods, fruits and vegetables are sold in large rows in the local market. Pleasantly surprised in the city. A chic seafood dinner for 2 persons in a small restaurant we cost only 35 euros.
While I finished coffee, my wife visited a shoe store, bought 4 pairs of summer shoes, according to her, "for a funny price"))
The sights of Lagos allocate city square and several vintage churches. Next to the church of St. Antonio is the slave market. Several centuries ago traded people here (slaves). Walking along the embankment is very popular with romantic tourists in the evening after dinner. Beautiful palm trees, cozy benches and the smell of the ocean create a pleasant atmosphere for those who want to relax in silence after a rapidly spent day.
Impressions from traveling to Lagos we have only the best. We definitely decided to go to Portugal again and already select routes. But Lagos I loved the whole soul, this is an incredible place, all friends advised to visit here.
