Portimão is known for its excellent wide sandy beaches and its warm, calm water. The route continues to Lagos - an area of lagoons home to a wide range of bird species. In this area it is worth visiting churches, museums, the castle and the walls, which afford beautiful views over the city, the bay and the Monchique mountains. The city’s fort dominates the landscape upon arrival in Sagres, and Cape St. Vincent shouldn't be missed. This emblematic spot also serves as a link with the Via Algarviana and the Vicentine Route.
