Lagos
Lagos, Algarve, Portugal
Lagos is a delightful small city, which at one time, was the district capital of the Algarve; 80-Km from Faro, Lagos is easily reached by rail and the new expressway. Lagos has lots of restaurants, cafés, discos, shopping, markets, churches, a yachting marina, a live fishing fleet, and an auction fish market serves the city well. There are several different beaches and many things to see. Contrary to many other places in Southern Europe Lagos still derives some of its income from Agriculture and Fisheries and has a buoyant market economy. In the 1775 earthquake it was completely destroyed and the city had to be rebuilt. Its planning department then and now has successfully guided moderate development to a city plan despite the external pressures.
