Spring Break 2011-Lagos, Portugal

Last weekend I traveled to Lagos, Portugal for a beach weekend organized by Discover Sevilla excursions and in all seriousness it was one of the best weekends of my life! We had fabulous weather and I spent the days relaxing on the beautiful beaches of Portugal with great friends. I arrived by bus Friday morning and went straight to the beach! We took a bus excursion to see the sunset on Cabo San Vincente, the southwesternmost point in Portugal, formerly believed to be the "end of the world". Following the most amazing sunset I've ever seen, we bused into the quaint town of Lagos and enjoyed delicious Indian food then went to the organized party for some dancing. I had a fabulous time with my friends from Sevilla and made lots of new friends too! On Saturday we took a "Sangria Sailboat Cruise" and got to ride on a small motor boat through the impressive grottoes off the coast. It was very hard for me to head back to Sevilla Sunday afternoon after such a blissful vacation. Lagos was so beautiful, I think this excursion is better described through pictures!

Beautiful Lagos! Taking in the views of the beaches right by our hotel.
