The surfing town of Sagres sits on the most south-western point of Portugal - one could call it ‘Lands End’. There is an old fort wall protecting entry to the point area, requiring an entry fee, but somehow local fishermen reach the rock cliffs of the point to try their luck in the cold waters. The surfing context comes from the western shores where surfers enjoy the swells rolling in from the Atlantic. It’s a striking area with, as one can imagine, a lot of history from Portugal’s exploratory times, nicely portrayed in a small museum. After a walk around the point cliff rim we went looking for a seafood restaurant and were happy to find one that met our requirements by offering clams, mussels and goose neck barnacles. We enjoyed sharing these for entrees, and then ordered mains of fish including sea bass, squid and sole. Delicious.
