Lagos
Character and Identity: A city of explorers and backpackers. It has a heavy historical atmosphere alongside a youthful vibe and surfers. The cliffs of 'Ponta da Piedade' are a national postcard.
National Role: The city of origin of the Age of Discoveries.
Historical Development: From here, Gil Eanes set out to round Cape Bojador. Here, too, the first slave market in Europe was established (now a memorial museum).
Interesting Facts: King Dom Sebastian gave his last speech here before setting out for a battle in Africa from which he did not return, an event that gave rise to the national myth of 'Sebastianism' (the expectation of the king to return in the fog and save the nation). Part VI: The Islands - The Atlantic paradise of the autonomous archipelagos of Madeira and the Azores.
