Cabo da Roca, Europe’s westernmost point!
On a recent visit to Portugal, my friend and I visited Cabo da Roca. It is mainland Europe’s westernmost point and is known as the Rock of Lisbon.
Cabo da Roca: located at the westernmost tip of mainland Europe

I’ve always loved nature’s rugged beauty!

It was one of the most beautiful sunset I’ve seen!
Trying not to let the strong wind and cold temperature get in the way of a nice picture! ;)

To get here: From Lisbon’s centre, Rossio, take a train to Sintra. Catch bus # 403 which is just outside the train station. The ride would take around 40 minutes and costs almost 5euros for a single use. It is much cheaper to buy an all day bus + train pass for just 12euros.
