    The little detour there is rewarded with a magnificent view.

      The remains of the old fortifications are unspectacular. There are beautiful views on every other corner. It's not worth coming here unless you want to visit the restaurant. But you might pass by here on a hike anyway.

        The Arrifana Fort was originally built in 1635 to protect the tuna fishing grounds and the coast. Its location offers a natural vantage point over Arrifana Beach and the Costa Vicentina.
