Itinerary description
Type of route: Circular, approx.13,2 km
Reference points: Ulgueira, Praia da Adraga, Praia Grande do Rodízio /dinosaur footprints and Almoçageme.
Starting point: Cabo da Roca - GPS: 38.781027, -9.497301
Cabo da Roca is the starting point for this trail. The route covers the cliffs on the coastal area, passing by spectacular viewpoints such as Pedra de Alvidrar and Buraco do Fojo, on the southern slope of Praia da Adraga. Not being a trail with steep drops, it includes passing through Praia da Adraga and Praia Grande. These two beaches are important and famous in Sintra due to, for example, the dinosaur footprint tracks on the cliff south of Praia Grande. On the way back, the route runs through the villages of Almoçageme and Ulgueira, two spots quite representative of the typical “saloia” peasant atmosphere.
Cabo da Roca
Cabo da Roca “Where the earth ends and the sea begins” (in Os Lusíadas, Canto III) is the westernmost point of continental Portugal, as well as of continental Europe.
