A few maps and links to maps of Luz, Lagos and the Algarve you may find useful.
Don't forget to pick up a 'freemap' whist visiting the Algarve. They cover most major towns and are available most everywhere. Invaluable! The recent addition of the searchable Google Map is a bit of an experiment at the moment, so sorry for any 'hiccups', you may have to add the name Portugal after the town name you are looking for e.g. Lagos Portugal. Click on any of the maps for a larger image.
