Batata Beach

Highlight • Beach

Wonderful stand near the city.

Wonderful beach and in November we had one almost to ourselves. There is also a parking lot at the top right on the beach. But you can also hike along the coast. There are many other beautiful beaches nearby.

Camilo Beach

Highlight • Natural Monument

To visit Praia do Camilo you need to descend a wooden staircase with 225 steps. Because this beach is facing East, it's in the shade towards the end of the day, so best to go in the morning.

Hey 🤓,
Today I'd like to write something about this coastal hike because we really enjoyed it.

We parked our rental car for free near Lagos train station and then walked over the pedestrian bridge toward the old town to take bus number 4 to Luz for €1.60 per person.
From there, we hiked back to Lagos via the Fisherman's …

May 14, 2024,Von Lagos nach Luz Retour

Today it is quite windy and we start at our hotel. We walk on wooden planks over the Ponta da Piedada with wonderful views over the cliffs. As there are large parking lots nearby, we share the path with the whole family. The crowd thins out a bit towards Praia de Porto de Mós. We linger on the beach for …

Today I walked the last stage of the Fisherman's trail. I started early in Luz to be able to make a steep climb right after the village. Once at the top, a beautiful view and from there it was an easy stage slowly descending to Lagos. In Lagos I was included in the naughty tourists who are there in large …

First we went a good 2 km from the hotel to the central bus station. After a short orientation we saw the right bus and after a short sprint we were on the bus. We paid the €1.60 per person directly on the bus to the friendly and funny bus driver. He had international pop music playing during the journey …

This morning we started our final stage at 7:30 a.m. The sun 🌞 was just rising over the cliff of Luz🥰 We crossed the town quickly until we then went up the cliff very steeply.

May 14, 2022,Schöne Wanderung von Luz über den Atalaja, Ponta da Piedade nach Lagos

The ascent to the Atalaja shortly after the start of the path is a bit strenuous, but manageable with sensible shoes. Afterwards you will be rewarded with fantastic views of the rugged cliffs again and again. Once at the top, it is easy to walk on wider paths or even on beaten paths near the edge.
Up to Porto de …
