Sagres is situated at the most south westerly point of Europe. The present walls surrounding the area are the remains of a 17th Century fort built for Prince Henry the Navigator – evidence of his famous school. There are many hidden spectacular beaches all of unique character. Some are sheltered coves; others are large expanses of sand that stretch away to the horizon, inviting you to rediscover peace and solitude, before an unspoilt vision of nature. Popular with surfers Sagres has lots to offer. There is the fort to visit, and an impressive lighthouse at Cape St. Vincent with amazing views. The sunset is highly recommended, with many people gathering every night anywhere along the cliff tops to enjoy the dramatically coastal views, and ponder the tremendous historical importance of this place, and the extraordinary adventures who have passed this way.
