Sagres’ location out on the very tip of Portugal, and completely exposed to the Atlantic, lends this fishing outpost an impressive end of the world feeling of glorious isolation. Fans of the shipping forecast will love it.
The scenery is dramatic; sea and wind ravaged cliffs, sparse grasses, wide, deserted beaches and the Costa Vicentina Natural Park. Sagres town itself is quiet and unspoilt during the day: a surfer’s retreat. But at night those same surfers can make the town shake. It’s an unexpected but delightful discovery in a sleepy and authentic fishing village, rather like a favourite elderly aunt confessing she was once a big name in Burlesque.
