As a Portugal lover, you obviously have to visit the westernmost point of mainland Europe. The landscape is really great and more than impressive cliffs. However, you have to accept that many people see it that way and even in the early season it is swarming with tourists and of course everyone needs a photo of themselves and the cape. But it's not just the actual cape that's worth seeing, there's also a lot to see to the left and right of it and the crowds are also decreasing.
