Lagos, Portugal: A Beautiful Paradise

I found myself neglecting my blog a little bit as it is the last week of my time in Granada. But I wanted to share a few last blog posts before I set off for my trip with my boyfriend. 

Two weekends ago, my friends and I went on an all-inclusive trip to Lagos, Portugal. I didn't anticipate the level of beauty that we were about to witness. This town was completely gorgeous. Our hotel was right on the beach, with majestic blue waters and golden cliffs. We were able to go to the beach for a little bit for the first day and then went out to dinner with the group and had the best burgers of our lives. For those of you who don't know, Spain isn't really known for their hamburgers (shocker, I know). Therefore, having a real beef burger, which was awarded one of the best 50 hamburgers in the world, needless to say, was a real treat. We then went to some cool bars to get our included drinks and danced for quite a long time.

The best burger ever!

The next day we went on a Sangria Sailboat Cruise. It was so beautiful and it was great Sangria, with every fruit imaginable. Off the sailboat, there were mini tours into the grottoes of Lagos, which was very beautiful, like everything else in this small beach town. We then went to a new beach for a few hours and had some lunch beach side. There is a certain part of Portugal which is called the "End of the Earth," which is the ending of what people used to think was the entire Earth, pre-America of course. We watched an amazing sunset there. We then went to a dinner at a Mexican restaurant downtown and were completely exhausted and ended up going home to crash after an amazing day.

Our last day in Lagos was super relaxing. We went to the beach for a long time; read, talked and listened to music. We also had an amazing breakfast, which included pancakes (another item greatly missed by us Americans). We drank some wine on the beach and got ready to go back to Granada for one of our last weeks in the beautiful city. The weekend was amazing and relaxing, much needed.
