The charming Old Town of Lagos features lovely cobbled streets, street cafés, plenty of shops, an amazing fresh food market (featuring fish from the surrounding waters), and the stunning Lagos Walls fortifications from the 16th century. It proves that there’s much more to the Algarve than its beaches.

How to get around the Algarve?
Driving in the Algarve is a simple affair and rentals are easily available in Faro, where the airport is located. The most convenient road, spanning from the north of Lagos to the border with Spain, is the A22. It’s an electronic toll road that requires a transponder, which you can rent at the airport or any post office. An alternative is the N125 road, which is free but not as fast.
