Ponta da Piedade, Praia do Camilo, Dona Ana & Meia praia aerial - Lagos - Algarve - 4K Ultra HD

With a magnificent view of the Atlantic and the shapes of cliffs carved by the sea and time, Ponte da Piedade (English: Mercy Point) is an idyllic setting of cut out rocks that sharply contrast with the greenish blue waters below. Located 2 km from Lagos, full of grottos, unknown bays and quiet beaches, the Ponte da Piedade is particularly captivating when viewed from the sea. Long, narrow stairs lead you down to a small cove where pretty boats wait for visitors wishing to explore this natural paradise. On these trips, experienced fishermen wind their way expertly through the gigantic stone sculptures whilst revealing their names and secrets. Some names given to these misshapen rocks and perpetuated by fishermen include General De Gaulle, Chaminé (chimney), Catedral (cathedral), Belas-Artes (fine arts), Camelo (camel), Museu (museum), Submarino (underwater), Cozinha (kitchen) and Gruta dos Amores (grotto of love). Those daring to climb up 182 steps to the top of the lighthouse will have a view of the Ponte
