  • Lagos, Portugal, is this the Most Beautiful vacation destination in the Algarve in 2022? Lagos is a top Expat location and a vacation spot for many families on holiday - this is truly a town that offers something for everyone. There is a large variety of excursions you can choose from to fully take in all that the beautiful coast of the Algarve has to offer - including kayaking through the caves, deep-sea fishing, scuba diving, or a dolphin watching tour. There is also plenty of hiking, shopping in the old town, or just relaxing at one of the many cafes enjoying some amazing Portuguese food while listening to live music. Be sure to enjoy one of the pastries Portugal is known for - the Pastel de Nata, you won't be disappointed!
    One of the top things Lagos is known for is the Amazing beaches and rock formations that line the coast of the Algarve. Make sure to take the time to explore and spend time relaxing on one of the many beaches to choose from. One great way to see all the beaches is the hop-on-hop-off trolley, a truly great way to see it all! With so much to offer, Lagos is an obvious choice for a weekend getaway or an extended vacation.

    Thank you for this video Brian and Carrie. I loved it! It's because I love the Algarve and particularly Lagos where I go very often (have an apartment in Iberlagos with a beautiful view of the ocean) When I am not there I miss Lagos a lot and watching your video was like doing my favourite walks there. Looking forward to seeing more videos!

      The Algarve is very seasonal and some parts like Cabanas will shut down in Dec. and Jan. Lagos will probably have some seasonal closers as well. It seems to us, being here now in June that there is a lot going on with people on vacation. We see some pros and cons to both for sure. Thank you for your insights and for watching our channel!!!

The place you were staying in Lagos looked lovely, in a great location close to the bus and train. Could you tell me where it was, we would like to look into staying in the same area of Lagos. Thanks. We just subscribed.

    • @BrianandCarrie

      There are many beaches that you can walk directly to without stairs. Some are not as easy but the two that are closest to Lagos are easy to access. We usually show our apartment tours in the cost of living videos but we can start showing a bit more when called for in other videos as well. Thanks for the continued support!!

    Hi Brian and Carrie. Really enjoying your channel. Thanks for sharing. Last year year did Europe by train. Did 13 countries, 33 cities and 66 trains in the span of 3 months. Whirlwind to say the least. LOL. Next year my wife retires and we are looking at slowing things down. We have not decided if we want to do 3 months in 1 location or two locations for a month and a half each or 3 locations with 1 month in each location. We are looking at Jan 1 to March 30, Would you be able to share the AirBnB places you stayed in for Portugal? Specifically Lagos and mone Gordo. While traveling the 33 cities, we had some great locations and some not so great places so doing research ahead of time would be helpful. We look forward to viewing more of your videos. Thanks for your help.

    • @BrianandCarrie
      @BrianandCarrie  Před rokem

      That itinerary would not be possible for us!! 😆 We would recommend staying in each location for no longer than a month at a time just in case you get that not-so-great Airbnb or location. I will leave the links below for our Airbnb stays in Lagos and Cabanas. The Cabanas location is close to the train that will take you to Monte Gordo and Vila Real. We Highly recommend both locations.

I told my friend about Croatia as a place to visit to adhere to the Schengen rules, and he agreed and said he would spend some time in Split next winter.

      We do have a budget. The time of year and country can make a difference, but we try to stay around a $1000. We did a cost-of-living video on our two months in the Algarve. That will give you a good idea on all of our expenses.

    • @BrianandCarrie
      @BrianandCarrie  Před 2 lety

      95 M's!! I would skip Faro altogether and do Lagos for a couple days then head to Tavira for a day and Vila Real before heading to Seville. You need a couple days in Seville, it is amazing! If you cant do Lagos you'll survive. It would be easy to fly to Faro and head east, you would miss the cool beaches that the western part of the Algarve has but the east is pretty nice as well. Porto is worth visiting as well...just to complicate your trip...😀
