Cabo de San Vicente

Cabo de San Vicente, the southwesternmost point in Portugal is a picturesque spot where you can view an incredible sunset. The Romans considered it a magical place where the sunset was much larger than anywhere else in the world. They believed the sun sank here into the ocean thereby making this point the end of their world. We did not spend much time here because it was SO windy we felt like we were going to blow off the cliff. On the way back though we got a wonderful surprise, a giant rainbow!
