Sagres is the most south-westerly village in mainland Europe and, as such, was on the edge of the known world right up to the late Middle Ages

From the headland fortress, the awesome cliffs curve round past the 17th-century fort at Beliche to the famous lighthouse on the point of Cape St. Vicent.

Steeped in history, this is a windswept place of rugged beauty. Nowadays, it is the end of the line, well-beloved by backpackers from all over the world, and of considerable interest to botanists and bird-watchers.

    Pelos lugares que eu escolhi para ficar na Italia deve dar para notar que eu adoro um bom penhasco com o mar laaa embaixo. E fiquei aqui pensando...as aulas de historia da escola teriam sido melhor aproveitadas se eu tivesse as suas paginas entao... :o)

    Your photos brought back memories, It was so windy at Cape St Vincent when we were there, it was difficult to walk! Nice page. Happy Travels (~_~)
