.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.

.The Fortress of Sagres, also referred to as Castelo de Sagres or Forte de Sagres, is a military monument, located near the village of Sagres, in the municipality of Vila do Bispo, in the Algarve region, in Portugal.

The fortress was built in the 15th century, during the period of Infante D. Henrique, Portuguese navigator,
having been badly damaged by the earthquake of 1755 and rebuilt at the end of that century, in a very modified form.

Inside, the Church of Nossa Senhora da Graça stands out, also built during the Henry period.

The fortress is of great historical importance due to its connection to Infante D. Henrique and the Portuguese Discoveries, and in 2018 it was the most visited monument in the Algarve, and probably in the entire southern region.

In fact, since time immemorial, Carvoeiro has been the target of various civilizational attentions. In this magnificent stretch of the Algarve coast, where Nature has worked wonders, the sea was the last dwelling place for Romans, victims of naval battles and storms, whose traces found (a Roman block and an anchor) prove its presence.

The beach appears at the bottom of a deep valley, next to the small fishing port of Benagil; the fishing village that the beach is named after has a lofty position at the top of the cliff.

Access to the beach leads to the area reserved for fishing vessels, which also take care of visits to sea caves and wild beaches in the region.
Past the colorful boats, the beach stretches eastward to the imposing ochre-toned cliff, carved from carbonated rocks very rich in marine fossils, also called shellfish, which testify to a bygone era when the sea level was more inside. These rocks are now very sculpted and shaped by the combined action of rainwater (which promotes the dissolution of limestone rock) and the mechanical force of the sea. In Benagil, rocky patterns typical of karst landscapes are visible, such as caves or grottos in cut, on the cliff face.
