Itinerary description

Van het verlaten Fort van Beliche wandelen we boven op de kliffen langs de kustlijn naar Kaap Sint-Vincent met zijn lichttoren, klooster en cafeetje. We vervolgen onze weg naar het noorden langs de spectaculaire Atlantische kust en keren door het binnenland terug naar Beliche. Opgepast: de kliffen brokkelen af, blijf enkele meters van de rand! Wandeling op 16/06/2012.

From Fort Beliche (Parking) we walked on top of the cliffs along the coastline to Cape St. Vincent, with its lighthouse, monastery and café. We continued north along the spectacular Atlantic coast and returned through the interior back to Beliche. Beware: the cliffs crumble, stay a few meters from the edge! Walk on 16/06/2012.
