Today we went to the end of the world and back!

We went to Cabo de São Vicente - Cape Saint Vincent; continental Europe's most westerly point.

Here before the discovery of the Americas they believed the sun dropped hissing into the ocean at world's end.

What a wonderful day - mercury crept up to 30 degrees!

Walked through little villages and explored the natural park (Parque Natural da Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vincentina) which runs to the edge of Portugal with stunning 100m high cliffs.

I really adore Portugal despite the fact that I am no longer used to such an introverted culture, quiet streets and bars where people speak quietly!
