Beliche cove marks the meeting point between southern and western Portugal, a setting where the sea and cliffs seem to clash. High above stands the Fort of Santo António de Belixe, a guardian of centuries and storms. Built before the 16th century, it survived attacks, reconstructions, and the 1755 earthquake, later being reborn as an inn. Nearby, the chapel of Santa Catarina, commissioned by Prince Henry the Navigator, serenely watches over the abyss. The views? Breathtaking: the Atlantic and the cliffs merge in a spectacle of pure grandeur.
