Praia da Luz, Portugal

The town Luz is located about 60 miles from the Faro airport in the Lagos district. Once a small fishing village, Luz is now home to many tourists throughout the whole year. Though a growing town, Luz manages to keep the small town flair of yesterday and still every night the elders will meet at the beaches to have their small talks, re-live their pasts and watch the sunset. Luz has one of the most beautiful sand beaches and a cliff beach. In the west, one can find small coves for romantic outings. The beach walk invites with its many boutiques, restaurants and cafes.
