A view I have heard expressed of Sagres is that it is windy and there is nothing much there . I suppose you could call it the Lands End ( fim das terras )of Europe. The "nothing there" opinion was that of a Portuguese lady who lived in Lagos, I suppose its up to everyone to make their own mind up. Maybe its a love it or hate it type of place . Anyway there are a few things to see .
FORTALEZA
It is central and easy to find . If you make your way to the Fortaleza roundabout see ( THE THREE BEACHES NO3 TONEL (TOUR 2) you will see it. There is loads of history connected with the Fortaleza and it may be worth looking it up before a visit . The entrance fee is inexpensive a couple of euro's I think and it is free some days. Again some people find it not too interesting , but the walk round is good enough for me and I have visited on numerous occasions . It is worth a visit just to watch the fishermen perched on the cliff edge. They do fall off !! If you visit when the sea is rough the views and coastline are spectacular.
