The Salgados lagoon is located in the village of Salgados and can be reached by following a trail along its edge. The gentle walk is only 0.6 miles long, but it offers plenty of photo opportunities and a chance to enjoy the stunning views from above.The lagoon itself was formed over 2 million years ago when sea levels rose after an ice age ended, leaving behind large deposits of sandstone and limestone that eventually eroded into flat surfaces known as “tajas.” These tajas were then covered by water during wet periods in history; when there was less rainfall or drought hit Portugal’s Algarve region (where this lagoon lies), these rocky outcrops would reappear above sea level again–hence their name “salgados” (“salted”).
