Cabo de São Vicente or Cape St. Vincent in English, is the most southwesterly point in Europe and offers spectacular views over the Atlantic Ocean.
It's similar to Land's End in Cornwall, but is much less touristy. There is a coffee shop, toilets, gift shop and a museum on the premises, but really, you just go there to admire some absolutely breathtaking views.
The museum located on the premises is very interesting - showing the history of the lighthouse and the Cape itself.
