Lagos, Portugal
August 5- August 8
August 5- August 8
Last weekend, my friends and I took a trip to Lagos, Portugal. A cab picked us up from the flat at 3:30AM to take us to the airport. We flew into Faro and booked a car for the hour drive to Lagos. We dropped our stuff off at the hotel, went and got food and headed straight to the beach. That night we hit the town. I imagine it’s very similar to Cancun on Spring Break- lots of bars and clubs, and young people everywhere.
The next day we went back to the beach! We stayed on the beach for most of the day until it was time to go home and get ready for the Boat Party we signed up for. A catamaran equipped with full bar, DJ, and dance floor picked us up at the marina and we sailed the coast line until midnight.
Sunday we found our way back to the beach. At 4:00 we went on a boat ride that included tours of the grottos and caves, snorkeling, dinner, and more coastal views. After that, we went out again!
Monday, our last day in Lagos, we hiked to find some of the hidden beaches we saw on the boat. We found one of the beaches we were looking for and took the 200-something steps down to the water. Our car was scheduled to pick us up from the hotel at 6:15PM so we stayed at the beach for as long as we possibly could, do absorb every last ray of sunshine.
It was really hard to leave. I’m completely convinced Lagos, Portugal is heaven on Earth!
