The experts say that here is the most western point of continental Europe, coordinates of hope for those who navigate the coasts of the Finisterre. Little thing, admit it. Camões preferred to say the same thing in other words and left him a "where the earth ends and the sea begins". Simple, beautiful and as unassailable as Latitude 38º 47' North, Longitude 9º 30' West. After all, perhaps the only difference between the poet's reflections and the geographer's reasoning is only and only in the way each one says the same things.

 The landscape enters the soul and almost awakens the "absurd desire to suffer" that one day experienced Cesário Verde in the streets of Lisbon at dusk. Is it from the undergrowth devastated by the sea, trying to survive among the cliffs of raw rock?



Latitude, 38 ° 47' North; Longitude, 9º 30 'West



Then, past the lighthouse, is the open chest confrontation with the sea. Breathe at cost, sit back on the full weight of the continent, while eyes open to the invitation of the ocean. It is at Cabo da Roca that the expression '' jangada de pedra '' gains all its meaning, with the advantage of each being able to feel helmsman, commander or shipwreck of the vessel. Or nostalgic of the sea, which is symbol of departure and the hope of an eternal resumption. Sure, it's true that no one leaves there as it arrived and to cross the magic portal of Cabo da Roca, you do not need a password. Just go, take a break on the weekends dedicated to the temples of consumerism and recover a little, if only a little, from that ancestral connection to the earth, nature and everything that sensitizes and ennobles.
