We had our cousin Chané over in Portugal on a work assignment so obviously the time was very short. We decided to take her for lunch at this great restaurant called Cacau Rooftop. The views were amazing and the foid delicious!
From here we went for a stop for drinks at Senhora da Guia
Then from here we went to
**Boca do Inferno** (Portuguese for "Mouth of Hell") is a dramatic seaside cliff formation near Cascais. It’s famous for its rugged beauty, powerful waves, and the natural arch carved into the rock by the force of the Atlantic Ocean.
The Key Highlights:
- **Spectacular Views:** The crashing waves against the cliffs create an impressive and sometimes eerie sight, especially during stormy weather.
- **Natural Arch & Cave:** The site was once a sea cave, but over time, the roof collapsed, forming the current open chasm.
- **Sunsets & Photography:** A popular spot to watch the sunset and capture breathtaking coastal views.
- **Legends & Mystique:** Some local legends associate Boca do Inferno with supernatural events and even old tales of disappearing people.
- **Accessibility:** Just a short walk or drive from Cascais, with a viewing platform and nearby cafés.
It’s a must-visit if you're in Cascais, offering both natural beauty and a bit of dramatic history. Have you been there before, or are you planning a trip?
And lastely because it was getting late we took a drive to
Cabo da Roca which is the westernmost point of mainland Europe, located in Portugal along the Atlantic coast. It lies within the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, about 40 km (25 miles) west of Lisbon. The cape is known for its dramatic cliffs, which rise about 140 meters (460 feet) above the ocean, offering stunning panoramic views.
Historically, Cabo da Roca was considered the edge of the known world in the Age of Exploration. Today, it’s a popular tourist spot, featuring a lighthouse, a monument marking its geographical significance, and a small shop where visitors can get a certificate to commemorate their visit. The rugged landscape and strong ocean winds give it a wild, untamed beauty, making it a favorite for photographers and nature lovers.
We all had a lovely time and hope to see Chané and her hubby soon.
