The wild beauty of Cape St. Vincent

We believe no trip to the Western Algarve is complete without a trip to Cape St. Vincent. If you don't know, the Cape is the most Westerly point of mainland Europe, and you’ll feel like you’ve reached the edge of the world!

The towering cliffs, battered by the Atlantic Ocean, provide breathtaking views of endless horizons. It is steeped in history, and was once thought to be the end of the known world by ancient civilizations. No matter what time you visit (because sunsets are dramatic!), the cape’s beauty is unparalleled. The windswept landscape and crashing waves create a sense of wild serenity that’s perfect for reflection or capturing awe-inspiring photographs.

While you're in the area, it is well worth also stopping off at the nearby fishing port of Sagres.

Just a short drive from Cape St. Vincent, Sagres is a quaint fishing port with a laid-back vibe. The town is known for its fresh seafood, where local restaurants serve delicious dishes straight from the sea.

Sagres also attracts surfers and adventurers, with its rugged coastline and pristine beaches offering perfect waves and opportunities for exploration. It’s a blend of tradition and natural beauty that leaves visitors both relaxed and inspired.

Whether you’re exploring ancient fortresses, savoring fresh seafood, or standing at the “edge of Europe,” this journey promises to be one for the books. Plan your visit to Cape St. Vincent and Sagres today—adventure awaits!
