ALENTEJO LITORAL

Cape Sardão

Among Almograve and Zambujeira do Mar is the westernmost point of the Alentejo coast. Saved by um lighthouse, Cape Sardão Sentinel, this is a complete reconciliation with the land and seascape.


We can not stay indifferent to the towering steep cliffs carved to sink towards the sea at the same time powerful and serene, or confronted with a horizon of endless plains, covered by lush vegetation and.


Here, the world slows down to almost stop. The breeze makes you forget day concerns and bad provisions. Here everything is relative. Just matter the communion of the senses. The intoxicating beauty and peace will "force" a une introspection, an abandonment of the superfluous, to a simple demand of happiness. Forget the time. Do all to the rhythm of gliding flight of a bird, pleasant air, ride slowly and relaxed people. In short, adapting a saying very old, in the Alentejo, do as the
Alentejo.

In this pristine environment conducive to the sky is invaded by millions of bright spots of light, invisible in the city stars, constellations magic.

This is a staging area along the coastal road that links to Zambujeira Almograve. To get to Cape Sardão go through Cavaleiro, obscure village, but where Bream fishing is a constant presence and barnacles have more flavor than any other site on the southwest coast.


Walk to the impressive lighthouse, built in 1915, with a towering 17 feet high, quadrangular cylindrical alvenaria and red lantern.

Later, along the cliffs, the islands scattered here and there along the coast, the white stork many collars that only here on this coast and just choose your local nesting. In the rest of Europe you can find, but on the inside.
