So, of course I carried a camera with me, in this case my Sony A7II with Zeiss 50 f1.5 lens. This is quite a small kit to carry, inside my backpack. I often post about this region in this blog, as I go there regularly.<\/p>\n<p>This time, I want to share some photos from the coast near Vila do Bispo and Sagres; this is really a pristine and rugged stretch of coastline, especially in this time of the year. Come the summer, some of these beaches will see a ramp up in beach-goers, but they will still be markedly isolated. This coastline is characterized by small and gentle inland hills, sand dunes, high rugged cliffs, and very strong seas. As such, it is a favourite spot for surfers the whole year round.<\/p>\n<p>Further south, there is the area of Sagres and Cabo Sao Vicente, where one truly feels like being at \u201cthe end of the world\u201d. This is the \u201c<em>promontorium sacrum<\/em>\u201d of the romans, where sheer cliffs meet the endless sea.<\/p>\n<p>If you come to Portugal, you need to visit this coastline.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_178\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-178\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/cordoama_20_5_15_20_net.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-178\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/cordoama_20_5_15_20_net.jpg\" alt=\"Cordoama beach\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/cordoama_20_5_15_20_net.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/cordoama_20_5_15_20_net-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-178\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cordoama beach<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_177\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-177\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/cordoama_20_5_15_16_bw_net.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-177\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/cordoama_20_5_15_16_bw_net.jpg\" alt=\"Cordoama beach\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/cordoama_20_5_15_16_bw_net.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/cordoama_20_5_15_16_bw_net-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-177\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cordoama beach<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_176\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-176\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/cb_svicente_20_5_15_2_bw_net.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-176\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/cb_svicente_20_5_15_2_bw_net.jpg\" alt=\"Cabo Sao Vicente\" width=\"1000\" height=\"689\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/cb_svicente_20_5_15_2_bw_net.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/cb_svicente_20_5_15_2_bw_net-300x207.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-176\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cabo Sao Vicente<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I recently participated in a geological field trip to one of my favourite regions in Portugal: the southwest Alentejo and Vicentina coast.
