For best reader experience go to first post of this series.
At the estuary of the river Sado there’s an old fishermen pier. The scenery changes dramatically from high to low tide. Part of the pier has been renewed but most of it still looks like it will collapse any minut. The fishermen’s huts are decorated with dollies and other colourful objects. Objects that probably got stuck in their fishing nets.
Another lovely spot at the Atlantic ocean is Cabo da Roca. It’s the westernmost point of the European continent with a dramatic coastline.
High rocky granite cliffs and hidden sandy beaches for the bravehearted amongst us. Believe me, if i would live in Sintra i would go up and down every day. Because of the complex and bumpy hiking trail the beach is not too crowdy which enables you to enjoy it peacefully. The waves are something else. They are powerful, sometimes brutal and they lift you up with ease and throw you back onto the beach like if you were a piece of driftwood.
