After having seen Portugal for the first time in February 2006 during a business trip I thought it would be nice to spend a week in the Algarve after the summer. Especially as my good friend Donald has a nice apartement in Lagos which would mean a fairly low budget holiday.

So at the end of October we flew to Faro Airport, picked up our rental car and spent a few nice days exploring the area. We visited villages as Silves, Sagres and Portimao and even were able to spend some time relaxing on the beach. In Lagos itself we were treated to a very nice looking parade with knights and other creatures from ancient history.
