Why This Region Nicknamed “the California of Europe” Should Be on Your Must-Visit List | Vogue

"Located in the historic coastal town of Lagos, this restored 19th-century estate offers a sunny, beachside stay steeped in sustainability, sun, and creativity. The 33 accommodations, which include five suites, are five-star from top to bottom and almost entirely locally sourced: more than 90% of everything you see and touch is handmade in Portugal exclusively for the property, and the attention to detail extends to the restaurant, where most of the ingredients come from the hotel’s gardens." - Christina Pérez, Lindsay Lambert Day
