Cliffs of Praia da Falésia

Highlight • Natural Monument

Trapped in the red rock are pieces of weathered wood that are not roots. I have no explanation for that.

First trip on vacation. Walk down to the beach and walk to the end of the rocky coast. Very pleasant at 20-25 degrees and your feet in the water. After a rest in town, we went back a good distance over the rocks. Beautiful beautiful views.

Back, mostly above the beach …
