Property Description

As the name suggests it is ideally located within reach of the old city walls and is only a short walk away from the old city centre. The closest beach, the beautifully secluded cove of Dona Ana is a mere 10 minute walk away.

The apartment consists of 2 bedrooms; one double bed with bathroom en suite plus a second bedroom with 2 single beds which has the use of a another full bathroom. There is also a third bedroom which has been cleverly converted into a separate TV room, complete with plasma screen TV, with a comfortable sofa which converts into a bed allowing this apartment to sleep 6 people with ease.

The spacious lounge/dining room has been tastefully and comfortably furnished to the highest quality with modern prints on the walls and which has access to a large terrace. The modern and bright kitchen is equipped with all the mod cons necessary to make your stay as comfortable as possible and also has a small breakfast table and access to the terrace.

As mentioned before this apartment is set within a new development which will have a large shared swimming pool, but which won't be finished for this season. However, as the local beaches are a short walk away this should not be a problem for anyone and it is ideal for families and couples alike. All the amenities are within a short distance of the apartment so a car is not necessary; however this property boasts two secure underground parking spaces.

Lagos also has something to offer everyone; from it's cobbled streets and historical centre, to the varied traditional and international cuisine as well as the wonderful choice of small cove-like beaches or the long stretch of white sands of Meia Praia beach. The local fish market is a must and so is the fresh fish and shellfish served up in the local restaurants every day. For that ever important sun-downer, the cosmopolitan marina of Lagos is a short walk away and a great place to sit back and take in the views of the boats moored and people watch.

Area Description

Situated in the extreme Southwest of the Algarve, region of Portugal, Lagos was born under the sign of the sea.

This settlement, whose origins are lost in the far distant past, has been determined by the geographical shape of its bay. In fact, the first inhabitants probably come as far as the Neolithic period. People came from the Mediterranean basin - Phoenicians, Greeks and even Carthaginians.



The ancient city centre would have already emerged in the time of the Carthaginians bearing a definitive name Lacóbriga.

Various coins, remains of town walls, beautiful floor tiles prove the military, economic and cultural importance that Lacóbriga attained during the peak period of the Roman Empire that dominated the whole Mediterranean Sea.

The fall of the Roman Empire and after the conquest of the south of the Peninsula by the Arabs veiled this town with an obscure mystery; they called the city of Zawala.



In 1332 the Portuguese king D. Afonso IV ordered the restoration of the town walls and placed the Algarve Military Government Headquarters within in it.

It is in Lagos that the famous scion of the Portuguese Royal Family, Infante D. Henrique or Prince Henry the Navigator chose to settle and from it the great adventure of the Portuguese Discoveries began.

In 1434 Gil Eanes sailed from Lagos, to surpass Cabo Bojador and in 1441, the first African slaves were brought in creating the first Slave Market, which building is still standing today in central Lagos.



In 1504 D. Manuel I gave to Lagos a new city charter and later, in 1578, D. Sebastião raised Lagos to the status of a city, and from its harbour left on a fatal expedition against the Moors in North Africa from which he never returned.

In 1755 the city was almost destroyed by an earthquake; however it re-emerged from its ashes and ruins.

Today, the town still retains the atmosphere of its great cosmopolitan heritage, a fact readily visible to the visitor in its wealth of architecture and monuments.
