    • The lighthouse at Cabo da Roca is one of two distinguishing landmarks here. If you hike up the hill, you can reach the lighthouse and wander around it.

    • Unlike me, it would be wise to bring a rainjacket because weather is rather inclement at Cabo da Roca.

    I actually think that the best time to visit is during bad weather, because it makes the view much more interesting. The waves break against the cliffs harder, and the clouds take on strange formations.

    • another landmark at Cabo da Roca: the monument at the cliff's edge. This marks that you have reached the westernmost point in Continental Europe. Expect to see throngs of photo-snapping tourists posing right here!!

    • a little "post-spewing off the cliffs" shot of yours truly, absolutely nauseous.

    the roads to Cabo da Roca are very narrow and winding. You can either take a bus from Sintra or Cascais, and I recommend for those weak stomached folk such as I to embark on the route from Cascais. It is not as treacherous.

     Cabo da Roca was a wonderful place to visit and it was also very nice to meet you Sara.    		Bwana_Brown Sun Nov 28, 2004 21:34 UTC
     The weather certainly can take centre stage at Cabo da Roca! At least ours was high on the surrounding mountaintops! Great shots of the ocean waves pounding on the cliffs here. My wife was not too impressed by my driving to get here either!

     Fabulous photos. Love the sun coming through the clouds onto the water. Very "JC" like. That photo of you looks pretty darned gorgeous too (especially considering its "post spew" status. lol!)
