Praia da Murtinheira

A dream beach straight out of a picture book. From the hill south of the beach you can enjoy a breathtaking view.

Coastal Road and Cliffs of Dunas de Mira

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here elements meet each other: where water bounces in the eternal beat of the sea on craggy rocks and dragging seagulls screaming. A path leads above a wild (impassable) sandy beach to a lighthouse.

Former coastal mine

Highlight • Structure

Simply known as la fabrica, the erstwhile mine operation has contributed to making the rough steep coast accessible, albeit still with a steep, gravel and dirt compacted road

Cabo Mondego Viewpoint - View of Redondo

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice vantage point
don't get confused with the one down the street, it's nicer and doesn't end in a dead end 😅

Fenced cycle path near the railway, Portugal

Highlight • Cycleway

The bike path is absurdly secured with barbed wire. So nobody comes in? Or so nobody can get out?
