Sagres

As well as seagulls these cliffs are also home to Peregrine Falcons, although we did not see any.
Sagres - the most south-western point of Europe - the defenses in place.

Prince Henry The Navigator built a maritime school on this site, from where the 'New World' was 'discovered'. The above photo is the excavation of a compass.


Somewhere out there is America

A local fisherman fishing off the cliff on the point which is 80 metres high!

The cliff
Fatty and skinny

The wind blows so hard and so relentlessly that very little grows - a martian landscape
