At Cabo da Roca, Europe ends and the Atlantic begins. Windswept cliffs, a lighthouse and endless horizons—an unforgettable sunset spot.
How to get there
Drive 25 minutes from Griffo towards the coast. Parking is signed near the lighthouse. E-bikes are possible for the sporty (expect climbs and wind).
Good to know
- Arrive 30 minutes before sunset to find your spot.
- Bring a warm layer—gusts can be strong year-round.
- Stay after the sun dips: the sky often glows for 10–15 minutes.
Griffo tip: Combine with a late lunch in Colares or a beach stop at Ursa or Adraga for a perfect golden-hour loop.
