Itīs further south then we are, if you were flying into Porto we would only be a stones throw away ...

Drop us a PM if you hire a car and fancy coming up to Porto or perhaps we could meet you somewhere half way. Itīs a shame as you will have just missed St João day here which involves many parties and fireworks. Pack an emense amount of suncream though we are currently having temps of 36š and it will be hotter where you are going.

Lagos (means lakes) - is an old town and has a lovely marina not to be missed with pretty good nightlife in the old part of town and Sagres - has huge cliffs and an old fortress the sailors used to go from, lots of history there. The coast line is amazing and many many beautiful beaches around. Most people speak English so you will be just fine ordering and getting what you need.
Thanks Anna - have already booked accomodation, however that farmhouse looks lovely. We have booked a car, not sure if we will make it as far as Porto - in theory, we are going to find some nice beaches and just chill out, however I fancy seeing a bit of the countryside so might head up that way - if we do, be good to see you if we can - will take the laptop, so will drop you a PM.

Lagos and Sagres sound good, really looking forward to it now.
