Algarve  >  Portugal

Cape with cliffs near the popular lighthouse called Cabo de São Vicente. It can be a little bit crowded sometimes, but in the morning you'll be fine.

Beskrivning

Cabo de São Vicente, also known as Cape Saint Vincent, is the southwesternmost point of mainland Europe. This dramatic headland has breathtaking views over the Atlantic Ocean. The lighthouse of Cape Saint Vincent usually has more tourists than birds, but especially during autumn migration this is a great place for birding. Be there early in the morning for the best birding.

Just like most of the coast of the Algarve, Cape Saint Vincent has also high cliffs. The advantage here is that the cliff is not as high as other places so if there are birds flying close over the sea, you'll still be able to see them. During migration in autumn you can just sit here, wait and watch a lot different species fly by.
