[Cape Roca] The westernmost point of the Eurasian continent! [Portugal]

Today we will be introducing Cabo da Roca, located on Portugal's Atlantic coast! As it is the westernmost point of the Eurasian continent, many people come here to sightsee. It is also known as a scenic spot with a lighthouse standing on a cliff and the endless blue sea and sky. There is a stone monument engraved with the words of the poet Camões, "Onde a terra acaba e o mar começa (Here the land ends, the sea begins)." About 500 to 600 years ago, it was feared that beyond this vast ocean was the end of the world, a flowing river. It is said that sailors set out in caraveras to reach the end of this unknown sea. This was the Age of Discovery. It is a very romantic place! 📍Location: Estrada do Cabo da Roca s/n, 2705-001 Colares, Portugal 🚌Access from Lisbon (Need to transfer) Lisbon, Rossio Station → Sintra Station, about 40 minutes by train Sintra Station to Cabo da Roca (1253, 1624), about 45 minutes by bus (If you are also going to Sintra, we recommend purchasing a train bus ticket (Bilhete Train&Bus) (14€) at Rossio Station.
