CABO DE SÃO VICENTE/ SAGRES/ LAGOS/ SILVES
We set out on board of a comfortable 9 seat minivan in the direction of Cape St Vincent, or Promontorium Sacrum as the Romans nicknamed it in honor of the Saturn God. Legend has it that St. Vincent was buried in a hermitage, but the chapel would be destroyed later. Upon arriving at this location, we are in the extreme Southwest of Europe so it is best to go and prepare your camera for absolutely stunning photos! Nowadays there is a lighthouse that houses a small museum that depicts the period of the Discoveries, at the site of the ruins of Fortaleza.
