Cabo Da Roca

Cabo da Roca ("cape of rock") is mainland Europe's western-most point (not Sagres), and having been to Nordkapp some years ago (see http://roadeveron.blogspot.pt/2009/07/nordkapp-road-definitely-does-not-go.html), I was determined to see its western counterpart. We've probably been to the southern-most, whatever it is, and currently have no interest in going further east than we have already been (Ukraine). Whatever. I was determined, Vicki, looking at the map, was reluctant, but we proceeded on, despite the narrow twisting unimproved roads and Garmina's telling us repeatedly to turn left (or right) onto "unpaved road." A nice Portuguese couple offered us encouragement and direction, and, finally, we got there. On pavement, too.
En route; the Cape is a cliff and up high




Lots of bits have already fallen off


The view, pretty nice

The actual rock

More cliff bits

Neat place

I love your comment, "Vicki was reluctant". Sounds like our conversations when we travel.
