A weekend in Lagos

This weekend I joined a few hundred other Americans and drove over the Portuguese border to Lagos. We spent the weekend at different beaches around the Lagos area and went out in the town of Lagos. The area was absolutely gorgeous and we had a lot of fun there.

The first beach we went to was called Praia Dona Ana in the town of Lagos. It is a really pretty beach with cliffs and caves, and the huge group of us kind of took it over.



Later that night, we went to Cabo San Vicente. At the tip of Portugal it is the south-western-most point in Europe. When people thought the world was flat, they thought this was the end of the world.



The next day we did a Sangria Sailboat cruise that took us around Lagos and then we got into a smaller boat to go in and out of the cave areas that are around the coast. Later that day we also went to another beach in Lagos Meia Praia that was a much wider, sandy beach without any rocks.




On Sunday we went to a beach on Portugal's west coast that is popular for surfing. The beach was completely isolated and surrounded by green hills and cliffsides. It was a really wide beach with some cool cliffs and rocky areas to explore.







Overall I had a great time in Lagos and it was beautiful! Definitely a great weekend!
