Easter weekend I took off with a bunch of friends and we rented a villa in Lagos, Portugal. We drove up via Seville and then back down along the coast to Portugal. It’s about a 4.5 hour drive which is a little longer than the roadtrip from LA to Vegas but without the gambling when you get there.
Lagos is a really enjoyable little town. Though there isn’t a lot to write about in terms of specific things to see or do it’s very relaxing and laid back. I think the most ambitious we got the entire weekend was taking a boat tour the day we were to head back to Gib. We went out on a large boat up the coast and then we all jumped into a small boat and the driver zipped in and out of the little coves.
The villa we rented was 3 stories; first story was the garage, second floor was the main entrance and bedrooms, and the third floor was the kitchen and living room. We had a pool, a view of the ocean, and a 10 - 15 walk into the marina for food and entertainment. Not a bad value for the money. I think we paid about £60 per person for the entire 4 day weekend. Of course it was off-season so I would expect rates to rise in the summer months.

Hi, my name is Bill Rini and this is my poker blog. I've been blogging about poker and the poker industry since around 2003-ish. Like most people I started out playing poker as entertainment in home games whenever we wanted to sit around and smoke cigars, drink beer, and eat pizza, and needed a good excuse. I started playing online shortly after the first online card rooms opened and it wasn't long before I was playing 20, 30, or even 40 hours a week or more. One day I received a phone call about a program manager position at Tiltware which was the company that consulted to Full Tilt Poker on software development and marketing. After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.
