The Inferno's Mouth is well dubbed. Around sunset, what looks like a few jagged rocks with mild waves, starts swelling and rising and crashing, pushing into the tunnel that has been created after thousands of years of erosion. The energy that the ocean has is palpable and minute by minute it gets more and more aggressive. It is awesome, in the purest form of the words definition. There are plenty of safe places for people to stand to watch this incredible performance. A distance away there is a peninsula with a pier that starts signaling its light -- posing some incredible scenes for picture-taking. Although it was the end of June, the place was not packed and it was easy to walk around to find scenic photogenic angles. There is no cost associated with attending this fine show and plenty of places to park. It is also surrounded by multiple restaurants and is a skip and a hop to Cascais. Beware of those selling souvenirs - they are bad quality and four times more expansive than in other places. If you're in the area, I definitely encourage you to visit Lucifer's jagged mouth. Also, if you look closely at my pictures, you will see a dragon (or is it just me) herding the waves...

Guarded by countless laughing seagulls, the „Mouth Of Hell“ is one of the most beautiful landmarks near Lisbon. Completely designed by nature with its infallible hand, the area is presenting itself with a rough charm which is created when the sea and the wind as bride and groom come together to meet their best man, the rocks of a coast line. Over millions of years the natural forces created the shapes one can see today. The waves keeping on coming restless and powerful, pressing through the mouth into the basin you’re looking into when standing on the edge of the cliff. When you get lucky, the weather will be just fine. With a deeply blue sky of a color you will find nowhere else around the world. And bright sunshine, which lets the foaming water look like dusted with countless little gems. Look and take in this endlessness of the ocean. Breathe deeply and get a sense of what it is like to inhale the sunlight. Then close your eyes. And just listen: what the flooding and ebbing waves got to tell you. Whatever it may be, the seagulls will keep on laughing....
