Christmas in the Algarve | Lagos, Portugal

Algarve, Lagos, Portugal

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas!

In 2020, we had our first Christmas under palm trees, Christmas in the Algarve. Travelling between Portugal and Germany was impossible, so we made the best of it.

We booked an Airbnb in Ferragudo end explored the Algarve for the first time since we moved to Portugal. Part of it was also a trip to Lagos, one of the bigger towns. Here I found such incredible Christmas decorations that I couldn’t resist taking a few photographs.

It wasn’t our last Christmas that got disrupted.

In 2021, we got Covid on 21 December and had to cancel all plans. So neither Christmas in the Algarve nor Christmas with the family.

But now, in 2022, we finally get to spend Christmas again in and around Berlin with family

Hope you’re having a wonderful time with your loved ones, but also a double portion of hugs to you if you don’t!

Check out my other blog post this time about Golden Sunset Over Ferragudo.
