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.
A challenging trail 150 meters above the ocean.
Massive cliffs and a dramatic landscape. All of that makes the cape Cabo da Roca so wild and so beautiful.
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.
The wind was so strong, that we could barely walk.
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.
On the way to Cabo de Roca we stopped at a popular summer destination - Cascais.
A former fishing village... nowadays has transformed itself into a modern resort.
This place is especially picturesque at sunset. You can enjoy it at Cascais Marina or...
...in the Cascais Old Town with a glass of traditional Portugal Port wine.

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.
