A Little Bit About Praia Da Luz

Praia da Luz is situated in the Algarve and has become a firm favourite for the English ex-patriot community. It has a promenade that runs along behind the beach. It has retained its appeal and attractiveness by being held to a relatively low-rise landscape. A lot of the holiday rental development has gone to the west of Praia da Luz, but it now boasts a wide selection of accommodation, with several Praia da Luz hotels in the central hub of the village and many private holiday rentals. Despite its growth, much of Praia da Luz accommodation is easily accessible and within walking distance of the town and the beautiful beach, whose bay is sheltered by the 'Black Rock'.
There are lots of restaurants, cafés and shops along the promenade with all sorts of market stalls and artists displaying their work. There are also some ruins of Roman baths from 3rd to 5th century A.D just behind the wall that runs along the promenade. Luckily this last piece of history was saved from the developers but is now overlooked by modern rental villas.
It is easy to see why Praia da Luz is so popular for holidays, the resort has everything you need - a lovely beach; lots of restaurants, bars and cafés; a bank, shops for everything you are likely to need and all in a very attractive setting. It is an ideal resort for family holidays with everything so close at hand!. Lagos Zoo is only a short drive away and it concentrates on smaller animals and birds and is ideal for an afternoon out. It's not too big, so not overly tiring for young children and has a 'pets corner' which is very popular with 'children' of all ages!
Slide and Splash at Lagoa is the nearest water park for somewhere to cool off on those hot summer days and Zoo marine at Guia (near Albufeira) although a little further away, (about a forty minute drive) is another great family day out - take your swimsuits as there are pools as well. It is well worth a day out in Lagos as it is so close and one of the most attractive towns in the Algarve.
