Detailed itinerary

.Five kilometers from Sagres is the most southwestern point of Europe: Cabo de São Vicente, the last piece of home where Portuguese sailors once looked when they set out for the unknown.
Imagine yourself in a remote, wild and windswept landscape, with cliffs that make it a must-see for any ship traveling to the Mediterranean. This is Cabo de São Vicente. The jagged cliffs rise up to 60 meters
For the citizens of Rome, Cabo de São Vicente was the "End of the World", a supernatural vortex where the setting sun was dramatically submerged by the immense and unknown ocean. The myth persisted throughout the Middle Ages until one man decided to put an end to all this crazy nonsense and, with that, put an end to the Dark Ages: Infante D. Henrique, the Navigator, father of the Golden Age of Discoveries in Portugal.
