Cape Roca Lighthouse — Attraction in Sintra

This morning, I did the hike to the Cabo da Rocco. I hiked from some other beach about 10 km and had the best views on the way. During the hike I saw this lighthouse and I thought I could take a drive there later. The drive here was amusing because some people honked their horns at certain points, because the streets are so narrow that only one car can fit. Then you have buses that squeeze their way through as well. It was not that great up here and the views weren’t as great as during my hike. Plus, the lighthouse was closed off, and you couldn’t go near it. But you do have free parking after you go through a traffic. I didn’t bother to take pictures up here because I took a better ones...

Faro do Cabo da Roca is an absolute gem and a must-visit if you’re exploring Portugal! The iconic red lighthouse adds a vibrant splash of color against the dramatic cliffs and endless ocean views.

A cool and windy day to visit. The car parks were overflowing and cars were parked for hundreds of meters down the road. Horribly full of tourists (yes we were two of them) quite remote and the access roads very narrow. Nerves of steel and careful driving required.

Go early In the morning as we have found Portugal overloaded with tourists everywhere you go. There is little peace or space in the town areas but the motorways...
