    Hiking

    Five kilometers from Sagres rises the mythical Cape St. Vincent, the last glimpse of solid ground for explorers setting sail towards the unknown of the vast ocean.

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

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

    Hiking

    Cape St. Vincent is a cape in the Algarve region of Portugal. Cape St. Vincent forms the southwestern point of mainland Europe. Cape St. Vincent is named after Vincent of Zaragoza. The cape is located approximately six kilometers west of the village of Sagres.

    Hiking

    The easiest way to get to Cabo de São Vicente is by using your own vehicle or one of the tourist buses that leave from the resorts of the Algarve. Parking is available just a few meters from the lighthouse complex. If you long for German cuisine, you will find a bratwurst stand in the parking area with the inscription "Last Bratwurst vor Amerika". The village Sagres is about six kilometers.
