Itinerary description

This is a walk from the westernmost point of continental Europe (Cabo da Roca) to the abandoned Sanctuary of Peninha. The trail starts at the bus stop of Cabo da Roca and ends at the bus stop in the village Azóia, making it easy to arrive/leave for people without own wheels (both stops are served by bus no. 403 to/from train station "Sintra"). The bus stop at the end of the trail (red dot on map, not the last waypoint) for the ride back to Sintra is on the left road side while facing uphill. See last 2 pics.
All in all a pleasant walk with only one strenuous part: the "climbing" in the very beginning (before waypoint 0,86 km).
