    Cape Rocca, the westernmost point of Eurasia, facing the vast Atlantic Ocean, "the land stops here, the sea starts at Si". Good weather, the wind on the cliff is very big, very big, even walking a little staggering, the fear of heights is afraid. The steep cliff is 140 meters from the sea level, surrounded by rocky coastline, the scenery is extremely magnificent, the weather is good, the people are beautiful, it is a serious area for thieves, and you must take care of it.

    It felt more profound than I had imagined. Compared to the history of China, their medieval love and hatred seemed insignificant. But in any case, the overall landscape was still very magnificent. Through the cracks in the walls, one could almost see the resistance of the Moors... Sintra's scenery is incredibly beautiful, and the Moorish castle is like a magnificent preface, showing everyone the way we came. It was wonderful and worth it!

    Cabo Do Inferno is colated on the coat near to Cascais centro. There is a view point in front of the Aslandtic ocean. The special and well known foe this place is the big hole for water waving pass inside in and out the hilling deep. From the big hole is likely a mouth at why called Cabo (mouth) do inferno in Portuguese meant the hell.

    Cascais, the third largest city in Portugal, is 30 kilometers west of Lisbon. Cascais was originally a fishing town. In the late 19th century, sea bathing became popular in Europe, and Cascais was gradually rebuilt into a city with aristocratic atmosphere. The King of Portugal also moved his summer resort here and built an official residence and five castles. Since then, it has become a resort. During World War II, Portugal was a neutral country. The Allies and the Axis Powers stationed a large number of agents in Cascais to collect various political and economic intelligence. At that time, there were many spies here. The Duke of Windsor of England, who loved beauty more than the country, escaped from the tracking and kidnapping of Nazi German agents from here and fled to Bermuda. The prototype of 007 James Bond came from here. And the author Ian Fleming also created many 007 novels here.

    The Cascais coast is particularly romantic. It faces the sea and there are many sailboats, which reflects the leisurely and fun life here. It is a very distinctive place in Portugal. If you have plenty of time, you must check in here!
