The 13 Best Lagos & Sagres Day Trips from Albufeira

13 reviewed

West of Albufeira the coast turns wilder: the gold cliffs of Ponta da Piedade at Lagos, then the land simply running out at Sagres, where the old world once thought it ended. These trips take in both, some by road with a cliff walk, some adding a grotto boat ride. What each covers, how far the drive is and what it costs are here, with a note on which suit a first look at the west.
