Leaving the great beach at Santa Cruz I headed west along the coast, no real aim but that night I thought I might park in Comporta, which is just south of Lisboa, and on the way I intended to visit Cabo Roca, the most westerly point on mainland europe.<\/span><\/p>\n
The coastal road, passing through a world surfing reserve:<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As you can imagine, driving to a remote lighthouse on the western coast of portugal took me along some quite narrow winding roads, but when I saw the size of the coaches ferrying tourists to the lighthouse I wasn\u2019t worried. <\/span><\/p>\n
Having visited Cabo Fisterre, the most westerly point in Spain, I had an idea of what to expect, and to be honest it was very similar, certainly just as windy \ud83d\ude42 What can I say about it? It\u2019s a lighthouse on the edge of europe, still worth a visit so I can say I\u2019ve been.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Next was getting through Lisboa, I had intended to stop and visit but the forecast was for heavy rain so thought I\u2019d save it for another day. As it turned out it was a breeze getting through, the motorway just cuts through the city and crosses the Tagus via the Ponte 25 de Abril, It\u2019s a 2km long bridge, with three narrow lanes in each direction, certainly an experience.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Next stop: Sesimbra castle, and although there was overnight parking, again due to the impending rain I visited the castle and pressed on.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The castle itself was really good, well maintained, fantastic views. It dates back to 1201 and was a very important castle in it\u2019s day bringing law and order to the area.<\/span><\/p>\n
So a bit more driving and I was at Comporta, the base for the night, fantastic roads through nature reserves, scenery to die for, so different to the sprawl that was Lisboa.<\/span><\/p>\n
