What to expect

With the world's largest sand sculpture exhibition on your doorstep, a trip out here promises all kinds of sandy fun and games. The International Sand Sculpture Festival runs every year near Lagoa with mega sculptures, workshops, activities and more to enjoy and be in awe of.

There's nothing quite like it – 45,000 tonnes of sand, painstakingly sculpted into incredible artistic creations. Sculptors from all over the world come to take part and show off this different take on architecture. And with your ticket, you'll get to see it all and a few things more.

Once you've searched out a few sculptures, there are activities for kids, demonstrations and workshops on everything to do with sand sculpting. There's even a fish spa if you need to relax your feet, and a snack bar to replenish energy levels before your next sculpture hunt. What's more, if you go between June and mid-September, you can take it all in at night.

Slide & Splash - biljett

Spiralformiga fall. Skräckinjagande rutschkanor. Mycket skratt och nöje. Och massor av plats för avkoppling i solen medan barnen har roligt. Det är Slide & Splash waterpark i Lagos i ett nötskal. Detta är en sida av Algarve som du inte känner till.Störta nedför det skräckinjagande Black Hole eller den 20 meter långa Kamikaze. Skrik av glädje när du forsar ned för superbranta rutschkanor. Eller forsa nedför de skummande vattnen i Rapid River på en gummiring. Big Wave är en spännande höghastighetsattraktion för fyra personer med en stigande våg som ger en känsla av tyngdlöshet. Boomerang, Race och Big Fall erbjuder alla mycket för adrenalinsökare, medan du på Disco River kan du dansa till musik och massor av ljus.Det finns även en stor badtunna, solterrasser och en olympisk simbassäng om du vill ha något lite lugnare, för lite mer gammaldags nöje tillsammans med barnen.Lägg därtill restauranger som serverar allt från pizza och hamburgare till sallader och glass och du har alla ingredienser för en lyckad familjeutflykt.
