Weather : As a family we stayed in Lagos from 27th June 2009 for a period of two weeks.

Weather was extremely good, mainly sunny with a few clouds. No rain.

Holiday : We stayed in an apartment block just behind the Marina near the main bus terminus.

Absolutely lovely location, 10 minutes walk to the beach, 5 minutes walk to the shops, bars, restaurants etc.

A 20 minutes walk to Dona Ana Beach, which I consider to be the the nicest of the beaches in the vicinity.

Plenty of lovely restaurants serving local fish - plain, simple, tasty meals at a reasonable price.

Little shops to window shop.

There are plenty of buses running if you do not have a car (which in our opinion is not necessary) so you can get around the Algarve fairly cheaply.

The town is never that busy, it is mostly paved and very safe for pedestrians. You can browse the shops and always find a restaurant to eat in.

Places Recommended : Beaches a must......

Portimao only a 15 minute train ride away (station just back from Marina) if you are a serious shopaholic.

A couple of restaurants I can recommend are Barros and Blue Doors, which are right in the centre of town.

Have a coffee and cake in any of the Marina Cafes, sat outside watching the boats come in and out is so peaceful and of course you can always people watch.

Recommend Lagos to others : Yes
