The Atlantic here is cold until late spring, which catches out people arriving in April expecting Mediterranean water.\r\nHow do I get to Ponta da Piedade? | Walk \u2014 it is fifteen minutes from the old town along the cliffs. Or take a small grotto boat from the marina for \u20ac15 to \u20ac25, which gets inside the arches. Kayaks get in further still.\r\nIs Lagos just a party town? | In July and August it largely is, and the hostel scene is built around that. In May, June, September and October it is a beautiful small town with cliffs and beaches and a fraction of the noise.\r\nIs it expensive? | It depends entirely on the month. A dorm is \u20ac14 in May and \u20ac35 in August. A day in season is \u20ac40 to \u20ac60, and considerably less outside it.\r\nWhat is there beyond beaches? | The cliff walk, the 1444 slave market museum, Sagres and Cape St Vincent an hour west, the Monchique mountains inland, and surf schools along the whole coast.\r\nIs Lagos open in winter? | Partly. Roughly a quarter of the bars and restaurants stay open, the weather is mild at 16 to 18 degrees, and the town belongs to the people who live there.","hw_hub_city_cta_title":"Say yes to hostels, meet the world","hw_hub_city_cta_body":"Compare Lagos hostels \u2014 live prices, real reviews and free cancellation on most bookings.
