Rocky Cliffed Coast from Cabo da Roca to Azenhas do Mar
This cliff route along the coastline of Portugal offers beautiful ocean views on a sunny day. It took me around 4 hours to finish, because I took a lot of time taking pictures.
Note: Do not climb down if you see a beach! You can always detour by following the dotted lines on the basemap. Climbing down is a bit dangerous and time-consuming.
