This past weekend a couple of my friends and I went to Lagos, Portugal! It was absolutely incredible and probably the most charming, beautiful place I have ever been to. The small windy cobble stone streets, white washed houses and small coves are a lot like Greece. We went with a big group that is coordinated by a company that plans/offers trips for students studying abroad in Sevilla! It was a ton of fun and the beach was absolutely beautiful!
The food was delicious, very different from Spanish food. On Saturday night my friend and I wandered into a bar with live music! The guitarist was incredible and we stayed the whole night listening to music and hanging out with the locals. One of the coolest things I've ever experienced.
On Sunday, the group we went with had coordinated a surfing excursion. We went to this secluded beach right under the natural park of Costa Vincentina about 30 minutes outside Lagos. I only stood up once but it was such an amazing experience since I've always wanted to learn how to surf...and what better place than Portugal! Costa Vincentina is right near the town of Sagres, the farthest eastern point in Europe. We went to see the sunset there on Saturday night as well, it's called "the end of the world" because people used to think that the world just dropped off right there since there's nothing visible besides the ocean. It was absolutely breathtaking.
All in all it was an amazing weekend, but we're back in Sevilla now! Off to Paris on Thursday, this is not real life! Too good to be true :)
