Great path along the cliffs to Praia do Beliche. Views of the grottos, which can be paddled or swum to with the right equipment. A great spot for photos and the soul.

February 7, 2022,Sagres - Cabo de San Vicente (Cape Saint Vincent) et retour

Nice walk along the cliffs, but never very far from the road. Unfortunately, we found the fort at Cap Saint Vincent closed and therefore were unable to descend to the end of the point... Faster return but less pleasant by road because the tour had been unfairly estimated to be shorter.

Once again we forgot to turn off the app. We walked 15.1 km from A to A.
Because we really enjoy looking over the cliffs into the blue and roaring sea, we looked for paths that ran along the edge of the cliffs whenever possible.
It's simply fantastic what there is to discover. Fossilized turtles, sea monsters / dragon heads, …

And today was the inevitable rainy day. I was woken up in the morning by the pattering of the raindrops on the small mini balcony of my accommodation. Even after a long breakfast, nothing improved, so I decided to take a bus ride at around 11.30 a.m. I realized that it was the right decision at the bus stop when …

May 7, 2025,🇵🇹🥾 Süd-Algarve Tour 1 - Farol do Cabo de São Vicente nach Sagres

Today we started where our hike along the Fisherman's Path ended two years ago. Around the lighthouse and on the way to Sagres, with two exceptions, there are only cliffs, and the paths are very rocky. The two exceptions are sandy beaches, one of which we visited. The fauna and flora were particularly magnificent, displaying wonderful plants and flowers at …
