Our Neighbourhood
Nearest Airport: Faro - 85 km
Algarve is a beautiful area with a fantastic climate. Please check www.visitalgarve.pt and/ or
www.visitportugal.com . Pleasant price level for everything. Lagos is a small town but alive the whole year. Lots of nice restaurants and bars. The padel courts are only 600 metres away. Hiking trails, golf courses, mini golf, horse riding, Aqualand amusement park,surfing and lovely beaches. Our closest beach Meia Praia is all sandy and over 5 km long. Add to that history, vineyards and fresh fish and seafood. We live right in the centre , but the street is a dead end, so not much traffic. Our apartment is 5 minutes walk from the bus station, where you have connections all over Portugal and southern Spain. Lisbon and Seville in Spain are both 270 km away only and the buses are very cheap. Here is also a train station.

About Our Family
We are Benny, 73 and Ingela , 67 and we are from Gothenburg , Sweden but live permanently in Portugal since sex years now and enjoy it all the time. We have three grown and flown world traveller “kids” and two grand children. It is possible that some of them or close friends would like to join us sometime if possible.
We also have a dog named Ivy, she is is rescue dog from New York but we do not expect guests to take care of her and we also do not wish to take care of other pets. Ivy is usually in a dog hotel when we travel, exception could be when we go to Sweden by car summertime.
We like travelling, sports , hiking, reading and we love food and meeting family and friends for long dinners. Ingela also likes horse riding and going to gym classes.
We enjoy Intervac a lot , but combine also with other travels and are open for exchanges all year round. We will answer everyone.
Lifestyle
We like hiking with our dog and sports . We love travelling and now when having joined Intervac again we look very much forward to it. There is so much more to explore everywhere. We like to cook and meet friends and family for long dinners at home or at restaurants.
