If you take your lover to the ends of the earth, my suggestion is not to go to the seashore with several big stones. If Iberian Peninsula is head and Portugal is face of Europe, then Cabo da Roca is nose, Cabo Espichel is upper lip and Cabo de Sao Vicente is chin. If you want your lover has strong feelings of your eternal love, then you should take her to a promontory with a tremendous momentum.

In 16th century, however, a Portuguese poet said: Lisbon is the ending of mainland and the beginning of ocean. In fact, the extreme edge of mainland starts from Cabo da Roca which is 46 miles away from Lisbon. I was lost in Lisbon when I drove on first day. I had gave up the plan of visiting Sintra and Cabo da Roca originally. But unexpectedly, my car circled around a place with 5 to 6 exits then drove on the way to Sintra. Maybe it was destiny.

It was half past four in the afternoon when I arrived at Cabo da Roca. The views after raining was so charming, and over the light tower there was a rainbow. I indulged in this beautiful views totally.　

Among these three promontories, Cabo Espichel is the place with fewest tourists. If I didn't decide to stay in Sesimbra for my last night in Portugal temporarily, I thought I wouldn't go there either. Cabo Espichel used to be a place for pilgrimage. The church was very desolate and bleak which used to be lively.
