Out & About
The cosmopolitan town of Lagos, which many believe to be the best on the Algarve, is on your doorstep. There are many beaches to choose from, the largest being the Meia Praia which stretches for 5kms round the coast to Alvor and has watersports to suit all needs; it also has surfing schools too. Praia da Batata is situated beneath the cliffs in front of the Fort in the city; Praia da Dona Ana has spectacular views of the rock formations and beautiful seas and Praia do Camilo is a small and stunning beach and is home to the very famous Restaurante O Camilo.
The Marina dominates the river as it opens into the sea and you can choose activities such as deep sea fishing, dolphin watching trips and yacht hire as well as the superb Grotto trips. Lagos is an historic town with some city walls still standing and there are several museums and churches worth a visit. This is a working Portuguese town with markets, shops and plenty of restaurants and cafes to choose from. The fabulous west coast beaches, where the surfing is renowned, are only 30 minutes drive away and the Monchique hills and the historic old capital of the Algarve, Silves, is an equal distance to the East. As Apartment Vasco da Gama is so centrally situated, a car is not essential for your holiday enjoyment but to gain an appreciation of just what the Western Algarve can offer, a car is recommended.
