Portugal 🇵🇹 Cabo da Roca

Cape Roca (Portuguese: Cabo da Roca) is a cape adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean in Portugal, a narrow cliff with an altitude of about 140 meters, located at the western end of the Sintra Mountains. It is located at 38 degrees 47 minutes north latitude and 9 degrees 30 minutes west longitude, about 40 kilometers from Lisbon, and is the westernmost point of Portugal and the entire Eurasian continent. People have built a lighthouse and a cross facing the ocean on the cliffs of Cape Roca. The monument is inscribed with a famous Portuguese phrase: "Where the land ends and the sea begins" (Onde a terra acaba e o mar começa). Cape Roca has been rated as one of the "50 places in the world worth visiting" by netizens.
