Cabo da Roca: TripTemptation Visited The Edge Of The World

Less than an hour from Lisbon there is a famous place: Cabo da Roca.... or the most westerly point in Europe. People who lived here (right up to the 14th century) believed it was the edge of the world. We could not miss it, and it turned out to be absolutely worth visiting.

This enchanted place is very quiet and peaceful. Especially in winter. One can find here nothing.... just the light house, a small coffee shop and a gift shop. And of course unique nature.... the real paradise for photographers.

Usually tourists spend 20-30 minutes here. We have done all the trails and discovered the hidden corners of the most mysterious place in Europe. And for certain we recommend visiting it.

  • As a travel photographer I have a special passion for discovering picturesque sites. There is a place in the US that I was dreaming about for a long time - Monument Valley – one of most photographed landmarks in America. This sandy preserve located on the Arizona-Utah state line, bathing in magnificence of rich red hues, left me speechless. I couldn’t stop making pictures and stayed awake all night not to miss the sunrise.

  • Welcome to Leitlhof - by far one of the most eco and nature-friendly hotels in all of Dolomites. Located on top of the hill the hotel is perfectly located above the small town of San Candido, with an astonishing view of the Dolomite mountains right in front of you.

  • Plitvice Lakes in Croatia are a national treasure just waiting to be discovered. We only stopped there to take a couple of photos but were so blown away by the sheer volume of water coming from all sides that we ended up staying for the whole day!

  • I love Crete. For me it is not just another Greek island, it’s more like a small country where you can find anything you want. The largest island of Greece is so fascinating and diverse that you can spend weeks here and not get satiated with it.

I still remember my first trip. It was to London. I fell in love with this city the moment I saw it. Just - "click", and my heartbeat quickened. I was chosen by it. Red and funny double-decker buses, serious black cabs, the gorgeous Buckingham palace... That's it! I am your admirer forever! From that moment I have visited many places and have been to many countries. Traveling became my passion. My long lasting love, which I hope will never end.
