Lagao da Conceicao

The centre of Lagao has really been spoiled with over-development - but the path to Costa da Lagoa is as magical as ever.

30 years ago there were virtually no houses along this path apart from the odd fisherman's house, but now there are many. But even so - because they have not managed to push a road through - the houses along here are simple and on the whole in keeping with their surroundings. Only people who really like the wild choose to live out here. And you really have to be immune to mosquitos and worse!

It is still a fantastic walk. Wonderful vegetation, views of Lagoa, butterflies, birds etc. (See Photo Gallery)
