What you'll do
In the extreme southwest of Europe, where the sky and the sea meet, a vast horizon opens up over the Sagres promontory.
We highlight Praia da Ingrina, set in a beautiful rocky frame with several unique fauna/floristic details. All of these singular characteristics form this bay, under the influence of the Mediterranean, with calm waters.
We also praise the uniqueness of Martinhal beach. A place that is a shelter of several marine species, on its small islets, formed by the rocks that are found there.
