Sagres
Drive further south and eventually, tranquil Sagres will appear up ahead. Aside from seeing the iconic lighthouse and fortress on the steep and windy cliffside that make up Portugal’s southwesternmost point, tourists usually skip spending too much time in Sagres, meaning it is one of the quieter retreats in the region. The exception to the rule are surfers, who enjoy the waves on this part of the Atlantic coast. The nearby beaches are stunning and like most towns in the Algarve, local restaurants serve up freshly caught seafood on a regular basis.
