When to go to Lagos (Portugal)?
The Algarve's cliffs turn theatrical at Lagos: at Ponta da Piedade the sandstone is carved into arches, stacks and sea caves, best seen from a small boat. Praia Dona Ana tucks its fine sand between the same golden walls. Behind the old ramparts the town keeps cobbled lanes, whitewashed houses and a working fishing harbour.
