Hiking

The Pedra das Gaivotas is an impressive rock formation just off the coast of Cabo de São Vicente in the Algarve, Portugal. Its name means "rock of the seagulls," referring to the many birds that nest there. It's a popular spot for watching the sunset, with spectacular ocean views and waves crashing against the rocks. It's accessible via a short walk from the lighthouse.
