Lagos Old Town

Today we had first trip into Lagos.  We decided to explore the older part of the town which is still circled by the city walls that were constructed during the 16th century when it was the residence of the governors of the Algarve.

The centre of Lagos really isn't very big, but it can be a bit confusing! There are so many little streets criss-crossing that it is quite easy to lose your bearings, but as long as you head down hill you are sure to get to the centre!

We bumped into some 'neighbours' (who have two shelties), had a morning coffee with them & invited them for lunch tomorrow.

There is the usual range of shops, bars & restaurants & we had a very enjoyable lunch in one of them. We shared mussels as a starter & Janet said her sea bass was the best she she can remember!

Lagos old town is very clean with lots of free 24hr parking. Next time we go in we will explore the port/marina area.
