We will be spending 4 nights in Algarve. Can not decide between Lagos and Albufeira for our lodging. Any recommendations on these two?

They're both great. Lagos is more of a historical town and easier to walk, and Albufeira is more a party/beach town. I liked Lagos better overall but the beach sunsets in Albufeira are amazing.
Since my wife prefers the beach we stayed in Albufeira and did day trips.

Both Lagos and Albufeira offer great options for your stay in the Algarve. Lagos is known for its history, beautiful beaches, and great surfing spots like Praia do Amado. Albufeira, on the other hand, is lively with vibrant nightlife and stunning beaches, though it's not as well-known for surfing. If you're into surfing, Lagos might be the better choice for you!
