Itinerary
Also called Carrapateira beach, this is one of the best-preserved beaches of Portuguese coastline. From this beach, you will enjoy a view over the whole coastline full of depressions. A river flows into this beach.
Hidden spot
Discover the charm of Sagres and its inviting central square (Close to the central beach of Mareta, as well as the fortress of Sagres.). Enjoy a leisurely 1.5 hours on your own to delve into its beauty and indulge in a delightful lunch. Whether you opt for a swift bite at one of the nearby eateries or prefer to savor a picnic with your own provisions, the choice is yours to relish.
Being the most south-westerly point in mainland Europe, this rugged and forbidding Cape has long been considered sacred ground – ancient Greeks called it the ‘Land of Serpents’, but the pugnacious Romans oddly preferred a meeker designation: Promontorium Sacrum (‘Holy Promontory’), the Latin origin of the name ‘Sagres’ (from Sacrum). For them, terra firma-loving citizens of Rome, Cape St. Vincent was the ‘Edge of the World’, a supernatural vortex where the setting sun was dramatically submerged by the immense, unknown ocean (still today, the fading solar disk occasionally seems bigger and brighter at Cape St. Vincent). The myth persisted throughout the Middle Ages until a man decided to end all that crazy nonsense and – in the process – put an end to the Age of Darkness: Prince Henry the Navigator

About Lagos
Lagos is a walled Algarve port with golden sea cliffs, sheltered coves, a gilded baroque church and a history of Portuguese navigators.
Lagos lies on the western Algarve coast, where the River Bensafrim meets the Atlantic. Its old town is enclosed by 16th-century walls and has narrow lanes, whitewashed houses and the small Santo António church, whose interior is a mass of gilded baroque carving. Explorers sailed from the harbour in the 15th century in the age of Henry the Navigator, and a statue of the prince stands in the square. The former Slave Market recalls a dark chapter of the Age of Discovery.
