"From the outside the Algarve looks like a fairly homogeneous yacht-and-parasol affair. (Not that there’s much wrong with that.) But with hundreds of kilometers of coastline to offer, Portugal’s famed southern coast is far more diverse than a resort brochure might have you believe. Take Sagres, for example, Continental Europe’s southwestern extremity and one of the major seaports of the Age of Discovery. Given the spectacular, clifftop Atlantic views in one direction and the rugged beauty of Costa Vicentina Natural Park in the other, it’s clear that Memmo Baleeira chose the perfect vantage point from which to showcase the less-traveled side of the Algarve." - Tablet Hotels
