Continue to the waterfront to see the Réplica da Caravela Boa Esperança, a faithful reproduction of a 15th-century Portuguese caravel. This type of ship was crucial in the Age of Discoveries, allowing navigators to explore new trade routes. Nearby, at Praça Infante Dom Henrique, you’ll find a statue of Prince Henry the Navigator, a historical figure who financed many expeditions from Lagos, shaping Portugal’s maritime history.
From here, head toward the Miradouro Praia da Batata, a viewpoint overlooking the coastline where Portuguese explorers once set sail. Walking further into the city center, visit Praça Gil Eanes, a square named after the navigator who was the first to sail beyond Cape Bojador. Today, the square is a gathering place with restaurants and street performances, reflecting the lively atmosphere of modern Lagos.
