July 17, 2024,240717_Algarve: Cabo de São Vicente - Sagres

Cabo de São Vicente is the most south-westerly point in Europe and marks the end of the (old) world. From there, the first stop was the cult stall 'Last Bratwurst before America'. Then we walked the Fisherman's Path along the steep coast, always accompanied by breathtaking views, to the fishing village of Sagres.

October 24, 2021,Küstenwanderung vom Cabo de São Vicente nach Sagres

We were on vacation in the Algarve and did several small hiking tours. Here we were at the southwestern corner of the Algarve and hiked along the coast to Sagres.

On the way we could watch the sea and some birds all the time. For me it was an incredibly exciting change from the mountains, in which I usually like …

May 21, 2024,Sagres nach Cabo de São Vicente — Costa Vicentina

With this mini-trip on the Costa Vicentina we got a small insight into the spectacular views we will have in the near future on the Rota Vicentina. Always along the coastline, with the sea at our side and the sun at our backs, all the way to Lisbon.

September 20, 2025,Vom Fortaleza de Sagres and der Küste entlang zum Cabo de São Vicente

From the Fortaleza de Sagres, I walked along the coast to the Cabo de São Vicente lighthouse. There are beautiful views of the cliffs. Every now and then, you come across caves in the rock and hear the rushing water. Once I arrived at Cabo, I naturally enjoyed the last bratwurst before America, complete with a certificate, at the southwesternmost …

March 5, 2025,Rota Vincentina Tag 8: Zum Kap und nach Sagres (Regenalternative)

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 …

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.
