October 31, 2024,24🇵🇹: Sagres - Fortaleza de Belixe - das südwestliche Ende Europas 🇪🇺

Now we are at the end of Europe, and the police have closed off the last corner (see route). It was probably an event, because one or two cars were allowed to drive through.

There's nothing we can do - Europe ends 158 m further on, even without us.
