The fabulous Villa Alfie is located on the cliff above the stunning Lagos marina, which is 2km from the villa.

The Mercado Municipal da Avenida de Lagos is the number one spot for food shopping. The ground floor fish market is brimming with fresh fish and seafood of all kinds, perfect for your barbecue. It is buzzy, atmospheric and very colourful. The Centrol Cultural de Lagos boasts narrow, cobbled streets, attractive tiled building, forts, restaurants, cafes, fountains and beautiful plazas. You will find unique, quirky shops and enjoy delicious meals. Lagos is historic and characterful with a rich seafaring heritage. Its attractive, ancient buildings include the 17th-century fort and intricate Baroque churches such as Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Luz, Santo Antonio chapel, and ancient Moorish walls. The spectacular Meia Praia Beach is just minutes in the car from the villa and stretches 4km all the way from Lagos to the Odiaxere River mouth. It is sprinkled with friendly beach bars and cafes and offers an incredible amount of space, even at the height of the holiday season. Praia Dona Ana is a 25-minute walk from the city centre. Praia do Camilo is, like Meia Praia, to the west. The smart and sophisticated marina is lined with shops, bars, and restaurants and offers many boat trips to visit caves, snorkel, or dolphin watches.
Luz is a charming, peaceful resort located between Lagos and Salema. It is very popular with families for its beautiful beaches and an excellent range of restaurants and bars. There is a beautiful clifftop walk to the charming village of Burgau, where you can watch the Atlantic rollers splashing on the rocks below. A labyrinth of narrow streets lined with crooked, whitewashed houses draped in colourful flowers leads to the stunning beach.
Salema is another beautiful spot. The town enjoys a laid back, tranquil ambience where you can enjoy watching the local fishermen repairing their nets, painting their boats or early in the morning, unloading their catch of octopus, sardines, sea bass and gilt-head bream. Salema is located in the unspoilt Costa Vicenta Natural Park, a protected area of natural beauty. Praia de Salema is a Blue Flag beach with sugar-fine, golden sand. Restaurants serve delicious freshly cooked sardines, which you should definitely try.
To the east of Lagos, you will find the stunning Praia do Alvor. It is located at the end of a wonderful boardwalk all the way from Alvor Town, running past the incredible, protected marshlands of the Ria de Alvor Nature Reserve. The stunning Praia do Alvor features three impressive sea stacks known as the Tres Irmaos or Three Brothers and fine white sand, ochre sandstone cliffs, caves, and extensive dunes.
