Destinations

Lagos, Portugal

Lagos is one of the Algarve's most stunning coastal towns, famous for its dramatic sea caves and golden cliffs at Ponta da Piedade. Spend your days exploring hidden beaches like Praia Dona Ana and snorkelling in crystal-clear waters. The old town has great seafood restaurants — try the grilled sea bass along the marina.
Sagres, Portugal

Sagres sits at the southwestern tip of Europe and is a hotspot for wildlife lovers — the cliffs around Cabo de São Vicente are one of Europe's best raptor migration corridors, with buzzards, kites and even occasional eagles passing through. The beaches here are wilder and less crowded, perfect for surfing or whale-watching boat trips. Don't miss sunset at the fortress headland — it's spectacular.
