About the area

Around a 3 hour flight from the UK into Faro and an hours drive along the coast takes you to Lagos in the Portuguese Algarve. Set on the Atlantic coast, Lagos is known for its beautiful beaches–with 9 in total to choose from, as well as its glamorous marina. But the city is also full of historic charm, with its fortress and churches and narrow cobbled streets, as well as a whole host of bars, restaurants and hotels. It’s so popular with holiday makers, the local population doubles in the summer months.
