The cliffs in the county of Vila do Bispo are partly very rugged and steep, on some sections of the coast difficult to reach, but worth every effort. Who prefers to have it comfortable, goes by car to the Cabo de São Vicente, to the Praia da Cordoama (above there is a big parking area – coordinates: 37°06’20.1″N 8°56’18.7″W) or along the south coast to the Forte de Almadena between Burgau and Salema.


Cliffs at Ruiva, west of Vila do Bispo, it can be reached in part by car.


Roaring breakers, fresh wind and rugged cliffs.
