Lagoa

Lagoa

Municipality

A turquoise sea bounded by ochre cliffs and soft, sandy beaches.

Bunches of grapes ripening beneath the hot summer sun. The shapes, colours and designs of ceramics that belong to a tradition centuries old.

Such are the attractions of Lagoa and its surroundings, along with the colourful fishing port of Ferragudo, the romantic chapel of Nossa Senhora da Rocha perched high above the sea, and the fascinating rock formations of Algar Seco.

Lagoa Brochure

A hill rises above the flat lands where, tradition has it, there was a lagoon in the past. At the top, the tower of a church is visible, above a labyrinth of streets of whitewashed houses. This is Lagoa, where Manueline doorways, windows edged in blue and the imposing tower of the convent create a feeling that time has stopped and evoke ways of life now long-forgotten.
