Last leg of the hiking trail - in Lagos

Lagos:
Lagos is known to have the best beaches in the Algarve region, and indeed they were gorgeous! I took a taxi from my last destination Praia dos Três Irmãos to Praia Dona Ana.

From Praia Dona Ana to Farol da Ponta da Piedade (3 km)

View of Praia do Camilo from Praia Dona Ana

The cliff trail from Praia Dona Ana to Praia do Camilo is closed, so I took the main road (10 min walk) to get to the beach - Praia do Camilo

Then continued the hike from Praia do Camilo further. This is looking back at Praia do Camilo

Lovely little secret beach - Praia dos Pinheiros

Farol da Ponta da Piedade - Steps leading to the sea caves

Farol da Ponta da Piedade - do you see the heart shape formed by the rocks on the right?

Finally, went back to one of the lovely secluded beach I found on the way, took a dip and rested my legs and then got a taxi from here to the bus station and headed to Lisbon for my onward journey...

Or, you can get a bus back to Faros airport for an as late as possible flight (so its totally doable over a weekend during the LONG summer days) or you can spend an extra day in Lagos and take a boat trip to the world famous sea caves in the Benagil area (I did that during my last visit, and its totally worth visiting at least once!)
