Walking from Lagos to Burgau, Algarve, Portugal

One should consider walking from Lagos to Burgau as one of the options when in the area.

The southern area of Portugal’s Algarve boasts a coastal line with very compact yellow sand.

The coast exhibits a warm yellow hue that harmonizes perfectly with the surrounding colors.

It resembles a painting aiming to transport viewers to a summer setting, achieved with perfection only Nature can deliver.

The walking trail spans 16km (10 mi) and connects these two places, following the coastline throughout.

The walk offers a very relaxing experience with no significant elevation changes.

In addition to the beautiful sea landscape, this walk features several other points of interest:

• • You can visit the Farol da Ponta da Piedade (Ponta da Piedade’s lighthouse).

Ponta da Piedade’s lighthouse stands proudly atop the cliffs, guiding ships with its beacon.

Visitors can ascend the tower, enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding coastline.

The lighthouse’s architecture showcases its maritime importance, while its light is a vital navigational aid for seafarers traversing the waters below.

• • Explore caves by the sea level near the lighthouse.

Visitors can navigate these caves by boat, marveling at their natural formations sculpted by the sea.

The caves provide a glimpse into the region’s geological history, offering an unforgettable adventure along the Algarve’s stunning coastline.

• • Discover Roman ruins at Luz Beach.
  • Enjoy panoramic views of the sea and cliffs.

Furthermore, it’s worth noting that you won’t encounter many Portuguese people walking around, adding a unique aspect to the experience.

Why? Well, walking isn’t quite the “thing” around here yet.

Have a nice walk.
