February 7, 2022,Sagres - Cabo de San Vicente (Cape Saint Vincent) et retour

Nice walk along the cliffs, but never very far from the road. Unfortunately, we found the fort at Cap Saint Vincent closed and therefore were unable to descend to the end of the point... Faster return but less pleasant by road because the tour had been unfairly estimated to be shorter.
