informations about the town:
Lagos is probably the most interesting town of the 150kms of the Algarve coast line. Some 70 kms West of Faro and 30kms East of Cap St. Vincent and Sagres, the spot from where Vasco da Gama Caravellas sailed to discover the way to India.
The easiest way is to fly to Faro and then a taxi to Lagos for aprox. 70/75 EUROS, as a car is not essential the house beeing in town.
You can also fly to Lisbon ,which is a very interesting city and then drive the #300kms; it takes aprox.3 hours.
There are bus and train services between down-town Faro and Lagos but a tiring and very long experience in the heat !
Taxi with Ehglish & French speaking driver can be aranged
