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.

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.
