Portugal ? Lisbon, Algarve, and Lagos
By Richard Chapo


Inernational Padi Greece Schools
We are a Padi Greece International resort, offering diving and diving services under the Padi Greece umbrella. As the leading Padi Greece school in Paros we can offer the ultimate underwater experience.


On the southwestern tip of continental Europe, Portugal is an old school country. In this article, we take a look at Lisbon, Lagos and the Algarve.

Lisbon

Lisbon is the biggest city in Portugal and is located on the Atlantic coast in middle of the country. I?ve been to Lisbon three times, but only for a few days each time. Every time I come away with the impression of elegance.

Arriving by train, your first taste of Lisbon is when you walk out of the train station directly onto the shore of the harbor. As you look to the ocean, the name ?San Francisco? immediatelyy comes to mind. Mountains rise up on both sides of the mouth of the harbor and then there is the bridge. Running across the mouth of bay is a bridge that looks for all intensive purposes like the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. I?ve never had a chance to research it, but there has to be a connection.

Hotels Blackpool
Fancy a fun weekend away in one of the UK`s most famous resorts? The delights of seaside fun and frolics await you in barmy Blackpool and if you haven`t visited this Lancashire resort before, you have a treat in store. Look for accommodation in the area and you`ll find there`s tons of Hotels Blackpool where you could stay for a few days. They vary from cheap and cheerful establishments to four star businesses thus catering for people with varying budgets. Quite a number of charming bed and breakfast Hotels Blackpool< can be found and they represent excellent value for money. They are run by friendly and welcoming hosts that want you to enjoy your stay and they can add to the pleasure of a trip to the seaside. Stay in one of the Hotels Blackpool for a few days and you`ll have plenty to see and do. Spend a day on the beach watching the kids taking donkey rides or head to the pleasure beach where a wide range of thrilling rides await. A trip to blackpool wouldn`t be the same without paying a visit to the Tower with its famous ballroom. Here you enjoy a drink and something to eat as you watch dancers waltz by. There`s something for everyone in this super seaside resort as you`ll find out for yourself if you book into one of the Blackpool hotels.

Uk Rv Hire
With people, left stranded in locations all around the world thanks to the recent ash cloud its little wonder they might be wary about jetting off abroad again in the future. Perhaps a holiday closer to home would be more appealing and a Uk Rv Hire might be the ideal type of transport. With a Uk Rv Hire you get the both of both worlds; transport to wherever you want to go in Great Britain and your own accommodation once you arrive. Families will find the modern recreational vehicles are fitted out with all of the creature comforts that they will require. A fixed double bed is often found inside the motor homes and another double bed can be located above the driver`s cab. Meals can be cooked in the comprehensive kitchen area and the bathroom has a toilet, washbasin and shower for the comfort of the rv hirers. Consider a Uk Rv Hire this year instead of jetting off abroad and you can discover the many delights that Great Britain has to offer from the comfort of your own motor home. Think about the many people that have been stranded in airports recently and holiday a little closer to home might seem far more appealing.

As you walk into Lisbon, everything is clean and relaxed. There are walking only streets with cafes and garden areas. Bringing to mind San Francisco again, there are cable cars running though the center of the city. I can?t tell you why, but Lisbon is a very low stress city on both the mind and the wallet. Yep, it is cheap and a good destination for budget travelers.

Algarve

The Algarve is the southwestern tip of Portugal and borders on both the Atlantic and Mediterranean oceans. This is an interpretation on my part as some feel the area only covers the beaches on the Mediterranean Ocean. Regardless, the Algarve is a collection of beach towns that remind me of Southern California in the 1940?s. No I am not that old. I am just relying on family stories and pictures. Jeez, give me some credit! One of the highlights of the Algarve is Lagos.

Lagos

I grew up in San Diego, California. It?s a great place to be a kid and an adult. The only complaint I have is a lot of people seem to feel the same way. The population has exploded beyond belief, freeways are crowded on weekends and housing prices average roughly $500,000 for a deluxe closet without driveway. Its still nice, but I?ve begun to think about relocating. If I do, Lagos may be my destination.

Lagos is a sleepy beach community with just about anything you could want in paradise. White beaches, private beaches, grottos, wine growing, a lively nightlife, modern conveniences and just about the nicest people you have ever met in your life.

You can stay in a hotel while in Lagos, but this is a mistake in my opinion. Instead, go to the train station and reserve a room with a family. Families in cities all over the world do this, but Lagos is different. The family you stay with more or less adopts you as one of their own. They will haul you all over town, introduce you to other locals and generally give you a true taste of Portugal. For veteran travelers, nothing could be better.

Rating

For an overall rating, I give Portugal and Lagos the highest rating of ?bar.? I loved it so much, I wanted to stay and almost purchased a bar by blackmailing, bribing and begging a friend in California over the phone. Alas, his wife didn?t think it was such a good idea.

Hey, how about you? We could probably still get a good deal!

No, seriously.
