Lagos, Portugal...LOVE!!

We spent an amazing weekend in Lagos!!! We were definitely a bit hesitant about going in the first place because a lot of us wanted to go to Morocco or somewhere else like Barcelona or Ibiza but I think the moment the guys from Discover Sevilla walked into our classroom we decided it was best to just go with it and join them in Lagos. What a great idea...we ate great food, we surfed-- or at least TRIED to surf, and we chilled....no homework, no walking, no cathedrals...just the beach and great times with amazing friends.

The view from out hotel was amazing. There was a beach with gigantic rocks like the one I'm standing on above. The sand was a beautiful, almost golden color and very rough. We all gave our feet a much-deserved facial...or foot-cial.

The water was absolutely freezing. So much so, that we had to wear wetsuits while trying to learn to surf, but our surf lesson was so much fun and totally worth freezing our butts off!!!

The best part of the trip was by far the sunset they took us to see. This place was thought to be the end of the world back in the day. It is absolutely breathtaking. The colors and the sheer grandeur of the cliffs is spectacular. I think I got the some of the best photos of my entire trip here in Portugal....enjoy!

Beautiful sunset...
