A Tasca
Overlooking the marina and out to sea, this place – a converted fish warehouse – specialises in, you guessed it, seafood. The cosy interior is filled with hanging strands of dried garlic and chillies, and bottles and clay jugs are embedded in the walls. The kitchen is open and there’s a sunny terrace. Note – solo travellers – one of the few places in Portugal where you can have a cataplana for one person (rather than two).

A Eira do Mel
A Eira do Mel, a charming, Michelin-listed restaurant. The meat leans to the Algarvian; the seafood has a more contemporary touch. Think rabbit in red wine sauce, octopus cataplana with sweet potatoes (€31 for two people), curried Atlantic wild shrimps (€16) and lamb stew (€14). Mouthwatering stuff.

Fortress
Blank, hulking and prisonlike, Sagres’ fortress has a forbidding front wall balanced by two mighty bastions. Inside, a few buildings dot the vast, open expanse, but otherwise a visit here is mostly about the striking views over the sheer cliffs, and all along the coast to Cabo de São Vicente.
