If your looking for a romantic evening ,hire a car and go to Cape St Vincent and see the Sunset .
lots of couples go there in the evening just to watch the sun go down ,can be spectacular.
It will take you just over half an hour to an hour depending on traffic.
While your there if your lucky look over to the cliffs with the shear drop and see if you can see any fishermen fishing.(they do call them suicide fishermen) we couldn't believe our eyes when we saw them.if you look very carefully in the picture you will see one ,a very small dot almost in the middle of the picture at the edge.

 Rock formations and beach area
at Ponte da Piedade by dlytle
However, the most admired feature around the vicinity of Lagos for its tourists seems to be the unspoiled peninsula called Ponta da Piedade fronting the bay of Lagos. This is a wonderful walking area with spectacular sea views. It has scenery of matchless beauty with many colorful cliffs, caves, arches, rocks and some wonderfully transparent waters. The crystal clear water allows you to see the many and varied underwater rock formations.
The rocks full of holes - chosen by sea birds to make their homes and contrasting with the greenish blue water - turn these beaches into sheltered coves, protecting them from the North wind that often refreshes Lagos.
Here you have nature doing some of its best artistry as the wide Atlantic Ocean crashes upon and erodes the soft limestone cliffs creating, along with the wind, a very special sea-art gallery for your pleasure.
There are impressive caves located along the coast here. Cathedral; Belas Artes; Living-room; The shoe; and The kitchen. And look for the small entrances in the rock that allow natural light to make reflections on the water, providing a beauty all its own. Leave a Comment

Go south of Lagos (near the Bombeiros, fire department) up to Praia do Pinao. From the follow the cliff paths along the Dona Ana beach, Camillo beach, and Ponta de Piedade. Their you might have a drink at Bar Sol Nacente (Bar of the rising sun). Then follow the path in the north west direction to Porto de Mos. At times this might be steep. Use good shoes and only take this last part if you are in a good phisical condiotion.
The rewards are high. Spectaculair views. One of the tbest hat you can imagine! Leave a Comment

 Decorative, prefabricated
chimneys in Lagos by dlytle
The more ornate the chimney was then obviously the more wealth the family had.
Nowadays, the chimneys on the modern structures are all inexpensive and prefabricated - although still decorative - so they have lost that old time, unique identifying quality. But you will still notice that the folks here like to decorate their chimneys in the old fashion! Leave a Comment
