Culture at the End of the World
Between Villa do Bispo and Sagres lie the remains of an enormous prehistoric stone circle. But not much is known about it’s origen. There is a “compass rose” in the
fortress of Sagres, but it is not clear exactly how it works. Much more is known about the Roman ruins in Praia da Luz, which can be visited. The chapel of Guadalupe can also be visited, but the black Madonna has been removed from there and is now placed in a museum. The history of the medieval castle in Silves is well documented. Both the city and this monument are worth a visit.
We always go to the farmer’s market in Lagos. You can buy fresh fish in every village, but the fish market on the Avenida in Lagos has the biggest choice. Every summer there are the Santos Populares, the holy festivals, with its processions, craft markets, good food, traditional music and dance.
There is also the Fado, of course.
