Sunrise at our Condo in Lagos

Greetings from beautiful, but cloudy and a bit windy Lagos, Portugal!

TGC and the new trusty Citron

We have moved to Portugal from beautiful Cadiz! It’s a very easy drive, two hours to Seville (and a stop at Costco😁) then another three hours to Lagos.

Lagos is an interesting city. It’s really only grown in the last 30 years as it’s become quite a vacation spot for Europeans and a retirement Mecca for Brits!

Forte de Ponta da Bandeira

Lagos was a small harbor for thousands of years, with Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans all in the area because of the tremendous fishing here for years. Now’s it’s famous with the hiking, adventure and caravanning crowds, along with the large ex Pat groups.

Small boat headed for the sights of Ponta da Piedade.

But for us, besides the hiking which is spectacular, is Ponta de Piedade, the beautiful sandstone rock formations in this part of the coast.

1/4 mile from our Condo
The beaches here are spectacular and the sand is some of the world’s best!

Because it’s a little windy and choppy we decided against the boats and walked the coast. Spectacular trails and wooden boardwalks, really excellent!

See the boardwalks, dozens and dozens of miles of great smooth hiking.
Pano shot
Yes it’s low tide and you can walk from beach to beach.
In some places they dug tunnels to get from beach to beach
Spectacular
Looking back at Lagos
Beautiful, see the trails!

We’re here eight days in total. TGC has walking and driving tours planned every day!

Adeus , goodbye in Portuguese!
