PORTUGAL!

Did I just land in Cancun, Mexico? Or am I in Palawan, Philippines?!

Dear readers of my blog,

Albufeira and Lagos are cities with the most wonderful beaches I've seen. I've been to so many beaches throughout my lifetime that I didn't think any beach could top the big three: Mexico, Hawaii, and Phillippines. But then we get to Lagos, Portugal and we are greeted with this.

Portugal Paradise in Lagos


We took a tour for 125 euros... it was worth every penny. With this tour, (it was totally meant for college students), we got transportation to these places, hotel with kitchen + free breakfast, and a bar crawl. Who could ask for more? The beaches of Portugal is like having the best of both worlds - you get to feel like you're in Mexico with the nighlife and the amazing beaches, while still having the European style.

The first day we went to a beach in Albufeira that looked like this...

The next day, we went to what they thought was the end of the world before Colombus discovered the Americas. It was known as the end of the world.
Finally, after that we went to Lagos!



Of course we went out and the night life looked just like Cancun Mexico.
Then finally, on the last day, we went to one more beach in Albufeira.
In conclusion, if any of you get the change to go to this part of the Iberian Peninsula - MAKE SURE - to stop by any of these beaches especially Lagos (the one with the rock formations) because this beach and its views were incredible!
