Experience an iconic Virtual Cycle Ride to Sagres, famously known as “the end of the world.” This small coastal town sits dramatically on a rocky headland that reaches out into the vast Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by powerful waves and sweeping winds. As you ride, you’ll feel the incredible presence of Portuguese history and witness sunsets that paint the horizon in fiery colors.
Perched high on the cliffs is the Fortaleza de Sagres, a monumental 15th-century fortress that once guarded the coast and played a vital role in the Age of Discovery. Its sturdy walls and dramatic setting offer a glimpse into Portugal’s maritime past.
Further along the rugged coastline lies Cape St. Vincent, one of the most significant navigational points in all of Europe. The famous lighthouse—built in 1846, electrified in 1906, and considered the second most powerful lighthouse in Europe—stands proudly at the cliff’s edge, guiding countless ships across these unpredictable waters.
Throughout the ride, you’ll travel over dramatic cliffs, long open roads that feel timeless, and windswept coastal pathways. Your journey ends with a visit to both the fortress and the lighthouse, just in time to witness an unforgettable deep red glowing sunset over the Atlantic.
