Lagos
On the banks of the Rio Bensafrim another walled town—Oh how very British ! So many Ex- pats wandering around and living in apartments you would think you were on the south coast in summer ! Still underneath this veneer there are a few local jewels of history. It once had the first place where slaves arrived in Portugal now called the slave market, The Ponta da Bandeira Fort had an exhibition of ancient artwork called the ‘Panels of St Vincent’ which was found on a building site in Lisbon being used to support scaffolding! Needless to say it has been cleaned up and is now housed in a museum in Lisbon — a ‘National Treasure’
Decided that the Marina is too close to the main street and suffers from traffic noise so we are moving to Portimão, tomorrow!
