Here stands Europe's most south westerly point, the "Land's End" of Portugal.

The cape is still an important shipping landmark and the lighthouse (sometimes open to the public) is visible 50 miles away.



It's an awe-inspiring place, packed with tourists in summer, but if you venture away from the coaches and kiss-me-quick souvenirs piled high at the entrance you'll find some lovely windswept beaches and quiet corners where you can contemplate the end of the world!
