Pros- Great digital nomad community- Lots of sport and social meetups- Great laptop-friendly coffeeshops- Beautiful outdoors, beaches, activities etcCons- Difficult and expensive with accommodation during summer season- Cars allowed to drive on small walking streets in city center (like all over PT) On the surface Lagos seems like a sleepy place with not much going on, but as soon as you find the meetups, coffeeshops and various nomad activities such as beach volleyball on praia da luz (there is a whatsapp group for everything) you realise this place has a lot to offer beside beautiful nature. Lagos is getting more and more interesting as a DN-hub and also a place to reside long term as an expat. A growing number of expats are making Lagos their permanent residence, building a vibrant community. A great alternative to Lisbon IMO, close to other nice spots in Algarve + Spain.

A lot of Digital Nomads coming back to Lagos now in the side-season. Nice vibe around here, a lot of sunshine, the beaches not packed anymore with tourists. Just a great place to be in this time of the year. A nice coliving & coworking place also exists here. Highly recommend!

Super expensive, and nothing to do in winter (a ghost town); I prefer Albuferia or Praia da Rocha (Portimao)

Loved it outside of the season, plenty to do if you are into outdoor stuff, great vibe, growing, active nomad community, Loads of restaurants, great coffee places. Perfect if you are done with big cities.

very beautiful in summer, but in winter it is a ghost town, apart from the fact that there are many gypsies who are aggressive. if it is to visit, it is OK. If it is for living I would consider Praia da Rocha or Alvor.

Super expensive in summer and a lot of drunk british tourists, in winter affordable but very humid, very cold in apartments, restaurants, etc, most of the places closed.

Nice but also not nice. British normie tourist place with a few hipster/surfer cafes like Abigail's, Coffee & Waves and Black and White. There's not much else to do here and the town lacks class and nice hotels. I'd skip this and go to Ericeira instead.
