A major port and capital of the Algarve for two centuries, Lagos is now an important tourist town and historically one of the area's most interesting places to visit. A mixture of ancient and modern with buildings dating as far back as 1445 combining with the stylish new marina, paved promenades and designer shops in quiet cobbled back streets.
