Sagres
Sagres history has been defined by its geographic location and the stunning landscape of the Sagres and Cape St. Vincent promontories. The lands end fell of these 50 meter high headlands dropping dramatically into the sea were a constant source of mystery and attraction to the region’s successive settlers as the various traces of their presence show. The most influential figure in Sagres history was Henry the Navigator, who found inspiration here to embark on his exploratory journeys, bringing fame to the region and leading to the creation of the town of Vila do Infante. Under his guidance, the area became a hub of maritime activity as cartographers, astronomers and mariners congregated, caravels were built and the exploration of the coast of Africa began.

Lagos
The region of Lagos has a long history linking it to the sea. Its original name, Lacobriga, reflects the fact that the first inhabitants of this port, in roughly 2000 years BC, were of Celtic origin. After them came the Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians, but it was the Romans that brought growth and prosperity to the town. The Moors built walls around Lagos in the 10th century.
The 15th century was the golden age for the town of Lagos, with its immediate involvement in the period of the Discoveries. Due to the port’s location, directly across from Africa, it became the major point of departure and arrival for the ships that, year after year, set sail in discovery of that continent.

If you want to get the most out of your vacation in the Algarve Make sure you call Pedro and have him help you make some unforgettable memories
He chose some amazingly beautiful sights for us, and we appreciated his pace. We never felt rushed, even as we took a bit more time going up or down stairs. He made us feel special and offered to take pictures wherever we wanted, and even knew the best spots and angles for the pictures.
We had a great time and saw some awesome places that we wouldn’t have found on our own. Having a knowledgable guide is worth every euro, and we were so glad Pedro took us around.
