Day 2: We hiked 4 miles along the coast line from Praia Grande - see above - to Cabo da Roca, the most western point of continental Europe.
Just a little steep - lots of up and down on this trail...
An ice plant variety brought in from South Africa to stabilize the dunes over 100 years ago. It has taken over the landscape and crowded the native variety.
Our guide collecting garbage along the way. Unfortunately, we found the beautiful coast line in less than pristine condition.
In the afternoon, we toured Sintra Pena Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of Portugal. Above, Neptune keeping guard.
Hey! I like this guy!
