One Algarve. Plenty of ways to explore.

Golden cliffs and Atlantic water around Lagos in the western Algarve

The west

Start with Lagos and its coves, follow the coast towards Sagres, or turn north for Carrapateira and Odeceixe. Choose a village base when your days revolve around the Atlantic, and give Monchique its own inland outing.
