Cabo da Roca

What a grand adventure! The ends of the earth and the beginnings of the ocean indeed! One can imagine how liberating it must have felt to set out to the unknown especially here in Portugal where they eventually circumnavigated Africa and beyond. It’s a beautiful inspiring landscape. Getting here is easy… 2.60 on a bus that comes around every 30 minutes. Yes theres lots of people but one can find lots of places for solitude and quiet reflection. Theres a gifted musician right at the cross marking the pivotal westernmost part of Europe playing his trombone and creating a nice ambiance. I absolutely loved this experience and got a certificate where they wrote my name in beautiful lettering “certifying” that I have: “been to capa roca, sintra- Portugal the westernmost point in continental Europe “where the land ends and the sea begins” and where the spirit of faith and adventure which took the Portuguese caravals in search of new worlds for the world still reigns” This whole affair was cute and wonderful and one can even get in a pretty decent hike also. An ultimate adventure for the mind, the heart and the body!
