The Algave

Took flights to Portugal from London to start the trip. We trained from Faro to Lagos. Lagos was a nice town with a few historic markers, a nice beach area, and a fun pedestrian restaruant bar area with stone streets. We had a lot ...

Finally here...and it's an oasis

Back to the Sunshine
