Small Islands at Ponta da Piedade
When I was doing research on the Algarve region of Portugal, one of the places which popped up is Ponta da Piedade in Lagos. Although I have been to the northern part of the country, I have never been to the southern part, which apparently is extremely popular to tourists. In this trip, I wasn’t going out and looking for historical sites but I was on school holiday and I was just going with friends to have some company for a change. It was certainly very enjoy having friends along but I knew that I had to make a lot concessions because there were so many of us and there were kids too. I didn’t really insist on much but only one thing – that we go to Lagos.
Beautiful Seascape of Ponta da Piedade
The idea was to bring everyone to see Ponta da Piedade which arguably is the most beautiful seascape in Portugal. Because of various reasons, I ended up going by myself. No, we didn’t fight amongst ourselves. Anyway, I ended up going by myself and I thought that it was a pity that everyone else didn’t get to go. It was a brilliant day and I had a couple of hours to go around Ponta da Piedade. I would think that the seascape is looks even better in person. The scenery is reminiscent of parts of Australia. I haven’t been there but I have seen photos of the place. The yellow cliffs really bring a lot of character and liveliness to the scenery.
