Returning from Lagos, I felt a surge of energy. Among the European destinations I've visited, Lagos in Portugal has left the most enduring mark on me.
Transportation: Bolt offers very reasonable fares, typically around 3.5€ for distances that can be covered by car in 5 minutes or by walking in 40 minutes. The service provides options for different vehicle sizes, a feature I wish the UK would adopt.
Landmarks:
- Ponta da Piedade: The Jellyfish Beach is ideal for photography, enjoying its serene crowds. The temperature hovers around 18 degrees, and a light sweater is sufficient.
- Benagil Cave: Algar de Benagil. Accessing the cave involves a speedboat or a kayak. We arrived at 3 PM and missed the kayak opportunity, so we opted for the speedboat. The 20€ per person half-hour ride allowed us to see 6 to 8 caves, with the staff even stopping the boat for photo opportunities, making it a memorable experience.
Accommodation: The Cascade Wellness Resort stands out as a top-tier hotel among my stays. It's a wellness resort with a stunning view, perfect for sunset watching in the evening. The staff is welcoming, and the prices are fair, making it a strong recommendation!
Dining: While strolling along the coastline, I randomly selected POMODOR PIZZERIA ITALANA, where the freshly squeezed orange juice was delightful. The pizza in photo 7, recommended by the staff, had a rich, chocolate-like crust and was a crowd-pleaser. Prices are between 15 to 20 EUR per person.
Black and White Coffee Shop: Portuguese brunch is superior to British. Restaurante Prato Cheio is a local favorite where I tried Cataplana seafood rice, which was average and took some time to arrive, so I wouldn't highly recommend it.
The Portuguese are renowned for their friendliness. and a man preparing to swim kindly helped us retrieve them. If you're looking to escape the UK's weather, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to Lagos to unwind. Just walking along the beach is a delightful experience.

🍽Dining recommendation:
The hotel's restaurant is very delicious, it is recommended to order steak, in terms of cost-performance ratio compared to domestic, beef is the most economical.
