Sagres Holidays

The seaside town of Sagres, in Portugal’s beach-lined Algarve, sits on the most southwestern tip of Europe. From its 15th-century fortress standing on the rocky peninsula, you can gaze at a panorama of the cape and its ocean that was once thought to be the edge of the world. On your Sagres holidays, head to the wildest part of the region to visit Cape Saint Vincent. Here, you can admire the string of deep bays and tumbling cliffs lined by Portugal’s rugged native greenery. If you have an appetite for adrenaline, the sea winds are ideal for windsurfing, kitesurfing – or just good old surfing. As you head back to the centre of Sagres, stop to see the prehistoric stone monuments that date back as far as 4,000 and 3,000 BC. Their old age and preserved surfaces are characteristic of a Sagres that will please travellers who love raw, untouched nature. Read more
