THE CAPE OF SAINT VINCENT | THE EXTRA ORDINARY END OF THE WORLD The cape of St. Vincent: the extraordinary end of the world The Cape of St. Vincent (in Portuguese: Cabo de São Vicente) near Sagres is the most southwestern tip of continental Europe. The Cape of St. Vincent combines nature, culture and myth. It feels quite amazing to walk around here, because you will feel the magnitude of nature. The cape is closely associated to the sea, from the ancient navigators to the legends and myths associated with the cape. From St. Vincent to Henry the Navigator. The Cape of St. Vincent and the surrounding area is one of the rare places where the geographical location, a wild but majestic nature, and historical factors combine with a mythical dimension. The result is a magical place. In this article you can read all about the cape, its history and natural beauty. The coastline The coastline around Cabo de São Vicente consists of steep cliffs. The cliffs have varying altitudes between 60 and 80 metres. Occasionally you can see small coves with sandy beaches in between the cliffs, such as Praia do Tonel and Praia do Beliche. The views from the cape are absolutely stunning. You just see cliffs and the Atlantic Ocean. When walking in this area, make sure to not go near the edge of the cliffs. That can be quite dangerous, especially with the strong and unpredictable wind. Visiting the cape of St. Vincent It is only possible to visit the cape of St. Vincent by car. Parking near the lighthouse is free. After you have parked your car, enter the gate of the small fortress. This building is now a lighthouse, which can be visited. The lighthouse belongs to the Portuguese Navy (as all lighthouses in Portugal). These climatic conditions have implications for the flora of the region. There are several endemic species that only exist in this area and nowhere else in the world. However, this does not mean that these unique species of flora are safe. The biggest risk for these species are the tourists. Visitors, looking for the most interesting points to take a picture, accidentally step on them or allow weeds to settle in these areas. As a result, this leads to the progressive destruction of the unique characteristics of this area. The area belongs to the Natural Park of Costa Vicentina and is part of the European Network of Biogenetic Reserves and the Natura 2000 Network. The Algarve section of the park covers about 74.000 hectares. It stretches for some 80 km, from Odeceixe on the west coast to Burgau (between Sagres and Lagos). The nature around the cape of St. Vincent is very beautiful and a big reason to visit the area. These climatic conditions have implications for the flora of the region.
