beach, restaurants, bars, discos, shopping.

Lagos - an important city - is just 2 miles from Luz.

You can fin in Lagos, some interesting cultural life (i think there's a short-movies festival in July-August), museums, expositions, etc.

Lagos is also an important city in our history: it was one of the major ports in Portugal, from the XIV to the XVII century.

From Lagos, hundreds of caravelles, galleons and ships went to the discoveries, cruzades, battles with moors, fighting pirates, etc

Already the fenitians and romans settled in Lagos. Its original name was Lacobriga. That's why the people from Lagos are known as "Lacobrigenses" (lah-coo-bree-jen-sses)

Apart of that, there are dozens of good, restaurants, bars and a couple of discos in Lagos.
