The program is to go to "The End of the World" as it was called way back.
Sagres is the most south-westerly resort in the Algarve and in Roman times was part of an area called the Promontorium Sacrum (from whence the name, Sagres, derives). At this time it was believed to be the most westerly part of the world and it was thought that the setting sun off the point made the waters of the ocean boil.
View on the harbour
Another view from above
We were hungry and went down to the Marina to find a restaurant and found one with a great view
Organized fishing
The food was spectacular, unfortunately the quality was not as good as the looks.....and the price
I felt even sick later

Next stop was the fortress of Sagres with a beautiful view towards Cabo de São Vincente
The entrance
Sagres is particularly popular with visitors coming to see the place where Prince Henry the Navigator, son of King João I, built his famous school of navigation. The school has earned Sagres a significant place in history because it was where Henry bought together great mariners, astronomers, ship-builders and cartographers to build and navigate great ships in the period of the Age of Discoveries
The church inside the fortress
Sagres is also home to Henry’s fortress, Fortaleza de Sagres, which was originally built in the 15th century and rebuilt in 1793 after it was destroyed by Sir Francis Drake in 1587. Inside the fortress is a former monastery founded in the 16th century and a 14th century chapel, built on what is traditionally said to be the site of São Vincente's grave. An impressive, yet puzzling sight, is also the 39m-diameter wind compass (“Wind Rose”)!

Strange flower
Genista?
Next stop Cabo Sao Vincente!

Sagres is also one of the most popular places for surfers, especially the beach close to Cabo Sao Vincente
The waves did not seem to be up to their fame on this day
Or maybe it was the beach for the beginners
Getting closer to the lighthouse a nice birdie
The lighthouse
Further along from the fort, is the headland, Cabo de São Vincente (“Cape St. Vincent”). The point was named after the body of St. Vincent was taken there to protect it from the invading Moors and became a place of pilgrimage for centuries. In 1173, the first King of Portugal, Afonso Henriques, had the remains of St.Vincent transported to Lisbon. There is also a lovely lighthouse (claimed to be one of Europe’s most powerful lighthouses) and the views from the point are simply breath taking.
Looks like whipped cream
The last rock of Western Europe
