Sagres

Overlooking some of the Algarve’s most dramatic scenery, the small, elongated village of Sagres has an end-of-the-world feel, with its sea-carved cliffs high above the frothing ocean strung with wind-whipped fortresses that connect it to Portugal’s rich nautical past. It's the only place in the world where white storks are known to nest on cliff faces.

Cape St. Vincent (Cabo de São Vicente), next to the Sagres Point, on the so-called Costa Vicentina, is a headland in the municipality of Sagres, in the Algarve, southern Portugal.
