Espiche
Espiche is a village of the civil parish of Luz, in the municipality of Lagos, in Algarve region, Portugal. The village has seen major developments since the 1980s, with the increase of the tourism industry in the region. The land value has increased dramatically, but the populational density is still relatively low. In the summer months the town has the most of its economic activity, and also most of the housing space, occupied by tourists. Since the town is very near the ocean it was mostly a fishing community, and relatively poor, before the 1980s.

Castle of Senhora da Luz
The Castle of Senhora da Luz is a former-medieval castle/fort in the civil parish of Luz, municipality of Lagos in the Portuguese Algarve, classified as a Property of Public Interest .
The fort is one of the most important examples of 17th century military architecture on the Algarve coast; it illustrates the Portuguese Restoration's concern to provide defense to the southern territory. Although there were fortifications in the region before 1640, there are few remnants.
