Whilst most people don't go on holiday to shop, it is handy to know where you can. Whether it is for supplies for your self catering accommodation or for the odd souvenir or gift for those at home. This page is an expanded extract from my main Luz Shopping Page. Here you will find all of the Food Shops I have found in Praia da Luz and just the major food stores in the nearby town of Lagos ( and a map of their approximate whereabouts ). Also see the page I've recently added that covers some of the larger shopping complexes along the Algarve.
Any remarks about the shops and businesses are my own views. You may not agree. So why not try them and let me know if you disagree with my comments or have some of your own you think I should include.
If you are a proprietor and wish to add / amend any detail, let me know by clicking on the link below.
