    Cycling

    Five kilometers from Sagres rises the mythical Cabo de São Vicente, the last glimpse of land for explorers setting off towards the unknown of the vast ocean.

    Wild, windy, and imposing, this promontory of steep cliffs plunges into the Atlantic, crowned by one of Europe's most powerful lighthouses.

    Called by the Romans Promontorium Sacrum, the “end of the world,” it was for centuries a sacred place, shrouded in legends and mysteries. Today, it remains a pilgrimage point for sailors, hikers, and dreamers, where the horizon seems to dissolve into infinity.

    Hiking

    Cape St. Vincent (Cabo de São Vicente) offers spectacular views of the lighthouse, the sheer 75-meter-high cliffs, and the vast Atlantic Ocean. It's a popular spot for sunsets, nature photography, and birdwatching. You can combine it with a hike from the nearby Beliche Fort. The site is near Sagres, in southwestern Portugal.

    Watching the sun set from this western end of the earth is glorious.
