The Cabo de São Vicente is the most southwestern tip of continental Europe and therefore “the end of the world”. At least one of them. Riding your bike here is something very special. The large lighthouse is located directly on the steep rocky coast. The last bratwurst before America, fried by a man from Nuremberg, helps against hunger: lesenbratwurst.com.

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.
