The beach and rock landscape here is a bit like the Twelve Saints Rocks in Australia. The beautiful caves have always been something I wanted to visit. I took a Tuk-Tuk all the way along the blue coastline... Even in winter, it is still so intoxicating.

Lagos is a town in southern Portugal's Algarve region. It’s known for its walled old town, cliffs and Atlantic beaches. Steep wooden steps lead to the sandy cove of Praia do Camilo. The nearby cliffs of Ponta de Piedade offer sweeping headland views and a lighthouse. Igreja de Santo António, an ornate 18th-century church, sits across from the Castelo dos Governadores, a castle with a baroque facade and watchtowers.

[Scenery] The strange rocks on the coast of Cape Piedade have always been a frequent visitor on computer desktops, which shows that everyone recognizes its unique charm! [Fun] It doesn't take too much effort. Just go up and down a few slopes and you can see different scenery and show your unique style of avatar and background! [Value for money] When you arrive in Faro Lagos, you can easily walk to Cape Piedade, and it is even easier to rent a car.
