The westernmost point of Europe, or as locals love to call it – "the end of the world." 🌍 A place that draws tourists from every corner of the globe, and for very good reason: this rocky headland dazzles with landscapes you simply won't find anywhere else. 👌📸 The best part? It's less than 40 km from Lisbon, making it the perfect half-day escape from the city buzz.
The area has been inhabited since the days of Ancient Rome. On Roman maps it appears as Promontorium Magnum (the Great Cape), and by the time of the great geographical discoveries, the headland was already known as the Rock of Lisbon. 👈
At the end of the 18th century, Portugal's first modern lighthouse was built here. Since then it has been rebuilt several times, and the beam from its powerful 1000-plus-watt lamp can be seen fifty kilometers out to sea. A tip from me: bring something warm, because the wind here doesn't play around. 💨
Alright, enough talk. 🤐 Take a look at this truly breathtaking spot. 😯
