The beach and rock landscape here is a bit like the Twelve Saints Rocks in Australia. The beautiful caves have always been something I wanted to visit. I took a Tuk-Tuk all the way along the blue coastline... Even in winter, it is still so intoxicating.

5.0
Lagos is a town in southern Portugal's Algarve region. It’s known for its walled old town, cliffs and Atlantic beaches. Steep wooden steps lead to the sandy cove of Praia do Camilo. The nearby cliffs of Ponta de Piedade offer sweeping headland views and a lighthouse. Igreja de Santo António, an ornate 18th-century church, sits across from the Castelo dos Governadores, a castle with a baroque facade and watchtowers.

5.0
Aqualand, is situated centrally in the Algarve region of Portugal. The water park is well spaced out with multiple food options available for all diets. The park is fairly quiet allowing for the maximum utilisation of rides. I would definitely recommend a visit.
