LAGOS, ALVOR & PORTIMAO


Returning to the warmer Algarve south coast of Portugal we made our way to Lagos, one of the few ports of call on my 2001 sailing trip UK to Mediterranean. 


We walked around and enjoyed an Indian lunch with mango lasse, as well as some lingerie shopping in the sales. It is a major centre of the Algarve. Walk around the historic centre and along the river.

East of Lagos is Alvor with it’s wonderful estuary and long sand dune protection, and small river entrance. We parked in our favourite spot close to the beach and enjoyed the long boardwalks and beach itself. 














This cost is tidal and it is always fascinating to see at low and at high water. Nature is close to local facilities.


Portimao is an important riverside centre on the coast immediately east of Alvor.
