Meia Praia - Lagos - New Developments

The Portuguese Council of Ministers has rubbered stamped the development plan for the Meia Praia area of Lagos.

On Saturday, the Economy Minister announced that two private investors will be proceeding with developments in the area:

Palmares Resort - based around the Golf Course (I presume) with a cost of 300 million Euros and creating 450 jobs

and

a new Vila Galé Group Hotel

Vila Galé Lagos - (Hope is is as good as the one in Tavira.)
30 million Euros.

These are both projected to be 5 stars Hotels for opening over the next few years.

This probably means the traffic along here is going to get a lot worse.
