The Cabo da Roca Lighthouse (Portuguese: Farol de Cabo da Roca) is a beacon/lighthouse located 165 metres (541 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean, on Portugal's (and continental Europe's) most westerly extent (Cabo da Roca).
It is located in the civil parish of Colares, in the municipality of Sintra, situated on a promontory that juts out into the ocean, made up of granite boulders and interspersed limestone. It is a third-order lighthouse, which originally began operating in 1772. It was the first new purpose-built lighthouse to be constructed in the country: the older lighthouses in existence at that time, were constructed on existing platforms or from pre-existing beacons.
From here, it is 3680 meters away.

I don't know if he understands the language but 50 HP for one man to play West alone in the morning is not only sad but useless and pompous.
We can use nice words and big publicity but man should be held responsible, not plastics, carbon, fuel, nets, food or gain.

The Arrábida region contemplates several geological phenomena representative of the evolution of the Earth, for example, the Arrabidine chain is the only one on the Atlantic coast that witnesses the propagation to the West of the progressive closure of the Tethys Ocean and the consequent formation of the Mediterranean Sea due to the collision, since the Upper Cretaceous, between the African and Eurasian plates.

Up high, at 488 meters of altitude, the Sanctuary of Peninha enchants with its unshakable magic and mystique. Built out of popular devotion, the Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Penha (Peninha) follows an alleged apparition of Our Lady to a poor shepherdess. This architectural complex also comprises the secular chapel of São Saturnino and an enigmatic romantic-revival mansion built in 1918 by António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro (owner of Quinta da Regaleira).
Place of worship since ancient times and heir to a long magic-religious tradition, it is shrouded in legends that have crossed generations of pilgrims.

We have a simple life.
And we enjoy each other's company, in all seasons . . .
Here goes what I say to her :
I've been a cheesemaker for a long time
I squeeze tits with love.
And warm milk is on its way
This turns out to be a great life.
And this is what she tells him:
I really like animals
I treat them with much kindness
But I give them squeezes in certain places
If they do not give me the liter I expected . . .

Sintra Castle
The fate of Sintra remained associated with that of Lisbon, which would be reconquered by the forces of Afonso VI of León and Castile, to return to Muslim rule in 1095, until it voluntarily and definitively surrendered to D. Afonso I Henriques (1112). -1185) in 1147. Aiming at its repopulation and defense, the sovereign granted a Charter to Sintra in 1154, when he determined repairs to its defenses, providing it with a temple, the Church of São Pedro de Penaferrim.
The Moorish Castle and the cistern are classified as a National Monument by Decree published on June 23, 1910, during the reign of King Manuel II. The intervention of the Portuguese public authorities in the monument began with the Estado Novo in 1939, with the reconstruction of sections of the walls. After minor interventions (1954, 1965), in 1986, cleaning and reconstruction work was carried out on the masonry, steps and battlements in various areas of the castle, with the cleaning of the walls being repeated in a new campaign, in 1992.
The Sintra complex was classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1995.
