@luisgraca98953 жыл бұрын
@@alissabertola8506 Hi Alissa, Lagos is a beautiful city it only comes second to Tavira in the Algarve region (my opinion). Lagos is close to the most beautiful beaches in the Algarve and because of that it will be quiter than in the summer. In october most of the Algarve will return to it's tranquility, the exception will be Albufeira not my favorite place but bars and restaurants will be open and you will see a lot more people than in other places. Another plus of Albufeira is that you can easly reach the beautiful beaches surrounded by the "red" clifs. Carvoeiro is another place you can consider, much smaller than Albufeira but will also have some life left in ealy autum. Please bear in mind that this was before covid. Things may be different now. The good news is that from the 1st of October Portugal will remove all the covid restrictions, namely bars and discos will be allowed to reopen. Take care and enjoy the Algarve.

Hey Kris! Thanks so much for the support! We agree that the drone shots definitely add more depth of the video! We just had to watch out for the birds as they tried to attack the drone. With regards to taking the drone on the plane, no, you don't need to ask for permission. In terms of flying over beaches, it's absolutely fine to do this (unless there are any signs anywhere saying otherwise) but we'd suggest flying over quieter areas where there aren't many people and also just to double check online before flying. Most areas where we visited were fine apart from a few areas that were near airports/ army bases etc. Hope this helps!
