In the 15th Century the Great Henry the Navigator based himself in the Lagos area and had his famous school of Navigation in Sagres, which was then thought to be the end of the earth.

The old city walls have been renovated and green areas have been added to the surroundings, while at the beaches, access and parking have been improved. All of this ties in with the recent completion of the A22 motorway making driving to the airport less than an hour's journey.

However, it is the promontory named Ponta da Piedade and sheltering the bay of Lagos which is most admired by visitors, with its caves, rocks and wonderfully transparent waters.
