Vila do Bispo

Highlight • Settlement

The windmills no longer turn in Vila do Bispo, once the breadbasket of the Algarve, but the charm remains. The white houses descend gently down the hill crowned by the church tower, and the narrow streets hold the soul of the old Algarve: whitewashed facades, colorful frames, stone doors, and shadows that alleviate the heat.

Today, this welcoming village is a meeting point for major trails (the Fisherman's Trail, the Historical Way, and the Via Algarviana) and for travelers who find here rest, good food, and open-hearted people.

Vila do Bispo Historic Center

Highlight • Settlement

Vila do Bispo is a very charming village, the starting point for several trails to the beaches in the area due to its unique geographical location, with coasts both to the west and south. The region has traces of medieval and Islamic settlements, as well as being mentioned in historical documents since the 14th century.

Last Bratwurst Before America

Highlight • Cafe

There's something very special at the Lands End in Sagres. The last sausage in front of America;)

So if that is not a highlight ... Here you can read yourself a bit: letztebratwurst.com/index.html

Cabo de São Vicente Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Five kilometers from Sagres rises the mythical Cabo de São Vicente, the last gaze of land for explorers setting off towards the unknown of the vast ocean.

Wild, windy, and imposing, this promontory of steep cliffs plunges into the Atlantic, crowned by one of Europe's most powerful lighthouses.

Called by the Romans Promontorium Sacrum, the "end of the world" was for centuries a sacred place, shrouded in legends and mysteries. Today, it remains a pilgrimage point for sailors, hikers, and dreamers, where the horizon seems to dissolve into infinity.

Costa Vicentina Cliffs

Highlight • Natural Monument

The race between Sagres and Cabo de São Vicente runs along the cliffs of Costa Vicentina. It's a varied race, where the surface changes constantly. The highlight of the route is certainly the numerous (and magnificent) views from the cliffs. This point, in particular, provides an incredible panorama of the area.
