City Walls of Lagos

Highlight • Historical Site

The city walls of Lagos, built under the reigns of Manuel I, João III and Filipe I, surrounded the entire city to protect it from pirates and enemy fleets. They were restored in 1960 to mark the 500th anniversary of the death of Henry the Navigator.
Due to their state of preservation and their length, they are one of the most important city walls in the Algarve. Particularly impressive are the bastions and gates (de Santa Maria, da Praça de Armas, da Conceição, da Alcaria or das Freiras, da Porta dos Quartos, de Santo Amaro or do Paiol, de São Francisco and da Torre do Trem), which offer beautiful views of the city.

Pinhão Beach

Highlight • Beach

The marked spot is not on the beach, but up on the edge of the cliff. There used to be a staircase here that led down to the beach. However, like parts of the coast to the north and another stone staircase, this has since collapsed, so there is no longer a footpath along the top of the cliff from the town. The footpath mentioned below, over 300 metres from Praia Dona Ana to the south, no longer exists, or rather there is only a path that should no longer be used.
Instead, there is now a new elevated wooden path through the hilly landscape above the rocky coast and a new wooden staircase down to the beach at this point. Unfortunately, photos of this can only be found far back!

It is also possible (depending on the water level!) to get from the town (i.e. from the north) along the various beaches (Praia da Batata, Praia dos estudantes), through rock tunnels or around rocks (perhaps with a bit of wading through the water) down on the coast to Praia do Pinhão beach.

Dona Ana Beach

Highlight • Beach

Wonderful beach and in November we had one almost to ourselves. There is also a parking lot at the top right on the beach. But you can also hike along the coast. There are many other beautiful beaches nearby.

Ponta da Piedade Coastal Rock Formations

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Ponta da Piedade is an impressive rock formation on the coast near Lagos, in the Algarve, Portugal. The area is known for its jagged cliffs, crystal-clear sea, caves, and natural arches, carved by wind and water. Its beauty is best appreciated by boat, kayak, or from the clifftop trails, which offer spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Camilo Beach

Highlight • Natural Monument

To visit Praia do Camilo you need to descend a wooden staircase with 225 steps. Because this beach is facing East, it's in the shade towards the end of the day, so best to go in the morning.
