This is a great little fortified headland to visit. More of a fortified wall really that separates the headland from the town. Go through the fort and there is a nice 3-4k walk around the coastal cliffs. Well worth the afternoon.

The Cabo de São Vicente (Cape Santa Vinzenz) near Sagres in Portugal, together with the neighboring Ponta de Sagres, forms the south-western tip of mainland Europe. The Algarve ends there in a rocky, up to 70 meters high cliff with sparse, treeless vegetation. (Source wikipedia)
