At Lagos Marina: Open early a.m. so go there for breakfast (serves full English breakfast, vegetarian, continental). Menu is very varied and has Indian dishes (curries, samosas...) pasta, burgers, wraps... Happy hours every day 4-7. Reasonably priced- Cash only. (Address: Marina de Lagos, Loja 15 e 16, Lagos)

Newly open restaurant next to Ponte da Piedade (Mars 2023). Good food, great views. A bit pricey. Will be wonderful when the work at Ponta da Piedade is finished. (Address: Estr. da Ponta da Piedade, Lagos)

My favourite beaches and places in Lagos

Beautiful scenery. Very dramatic coastline with stunning rock formations. There is now a boardwalk along the cliffs to go there from Dona Ana Beach parking lot. It is possible to go down to the water level but be prepared for many stairs.

The new boardwalk from Pinhão Beach to Dona Ana Beach, Camilo Beach and Ponta da Piedade makes the walk along the cliff easier while preventing erosion and protecting the flore. The boardwalk continues to Porto de Mós. Best time to be on the boardwalk is at sunrise.

It is so pleasant to wander in Lagos old town, its narrow streets and to admire azulejos facades, stop for a coffee in a street cafe....
