Hiking

An easy hiking route with outstanding views of the Atlantic. Just don't go too close to the cliffs, there is a risk of falling.

Hiking

Christopher Columbus almost lost his life on this beach in 1476 on his first voyage across the Atlantic waters. His ship was attacked and burned by French pirates, and the explorer had to swim to shore. From here he went to Lisbon, where he married a Portuguese woman three years later.
