Cape Saint Vincent
Then it’s on to the ‘end of the world’ – the town of Sagres – famous home to Prince Henry’s School of Navigation. At Cape St. Vincent (Europe’s most south western point) a tiny lighthouse perches atop the cliffs and braves the elements. Breathe the invigorating sea air and marvel at the vastness of the landscape.
