Praia da Luz is a popular beach resort village in the municipality of Lagos, featuring a long, sandy beach sheltered by cliffs and a promenade lined with cafes and restaurants. It gained international attention as the last known location of Madeleine McCann, who disappeared from a holiday apartment here in 2007. Despite this, the village remains a tranquil destination for families and sun-seekers, offering water sports, coastal walks, and a laid-back atmosphere with stunning sunsets over the Atlantic.
