Fortaleza De Sagres, Sagres Point, Cape Saint Vincent, Sagres, Algarve, Portugal, Europe
The Fortaleza de Sagres, Sagres also referred to as Castle or Fort of Sagres, located in a dominant position crowning the Ponta de Sagres, in the southwest of the Algarve in Portugal. Its steep cliffs, constantly beaten by wind, the visitor enjoys a panoramic stunning along the coast, especially in the coves of Sagres, Cape St. Vincent (extreme southwest of Europe) and the immensity of the Atlantic Ocean. The fortification itself and its vicinity, integrated in the Natural Park of Southwest Alentejo and Costa Vicentina, offer the possibility of a close look at the natural heritage of the coast, especially in regard to flora, housing some of the most representative species of the region as, eg Allium ampeloprasum (leek-mad), Armeria welwitschii (herb-divine), Asteriscus maritimus (pampilho-sea), crithmum (perrexil-fish), Juniperus turbinata ( Zimbreiro), Malva sylvestris (mauve), Pancratium maritimum (Narcissus-Marram Grass), Spartium junceum (Esparto). Bastion of polygonal layout, consists of a curtain closing the shore side and a wall that extends through on the left. At both ends of the curtain rise from half-bastions 1793, one under the invocation of Santa Barbara (patron saint of artillery) and one of St. Anthony (patron of the Portuguese Army). Halfway through the curtain opens the Monumental Gate Square in the neoclassical style, topped by a coat of arms on the pediment and epigraphic plate referring to the then governor of the Algarve, Nuno José Fulgencio John Nepomuceno de Mendonça e Moura (1793) . The internal gate side can be seen a headstone in memory of Henry the Navigator, placed around 1840. Strategically distributed by the embankment there are six batteries facing the sea and watchtowers. Isolated from other buildings, stands the Storeroom Powder probably built in the mid eighteenth century. Inserted into all buildings, it is a replica of a sixteenth-century discovery of Standard, in which can be seen a coat of arms of the Infante D. Henrique. It is noteworthy, however, Rosa-dos-Ventos, also known as rose of winds of Henry the Navigator, a comprehensive framework that considers traced back to the sixteenth century. Casually revealed in 1921, is a star with 32 spokes, symbolizing the direction inscribed in a circle drawn on the ground by irregular pebbles and some authors believe that this is the gnomon of a sundial. Several historical buildings can be seen in the embankment of the fortress, as the central turret, several quarters and buildings as the cistern tower - probably the result of Henrique's project, present in much of the fortress representations after Drake's raid in 1587 - the old houses of the current and the Governor's House, tour reuse of target structures in the project of the 1990s. The building of the present temple replaced, possibly in 1570, to the time of King Sebastian, the old hermitage of Santa Maria sent erected in 1459 by Prince Henry. After the 1755 earthquake, which was damaged, were added to the sacristy and the bell tower. It features simple quadrangular single nave with small windows insulated the walls and shot in barrel vault. The headboard with attached sacristy, also has square plan and is surmounted by a semi-spherical dome. The main facade is marked by the entry door with lintel and gable roof. The bell tower, built in the location of the ancient ossuary of the cemetery, is accessed through a staircase on the east side. Here it belongs, since 1997, the Baroque altarpiece of the Chapel of St. Catherine of Belixe Fort. There is no certainty about what would be the exact location of this sacred promontory that permeated much of history the site of the fort, but it is possible to identify, in general, an area that would extend from the tip of the Piedade Arrifana, comprising the cable St. Vincent and the Ponta de Sagres. This space, known by many as the end of the known world, where he initiated the storms to date into one of the largest areas of standing stones and megalithic buildings in Europe. Visited by navigators coming from the Mediterranean Sea from c. 4000 BC, was quoted from classical antiquity by Avieno, Strabo and Pliny as a worship area dedicated to Saturn or Hercules, strong connotation of deities with the maritime world. Later, during the Islamic occupation of the Iberian Peninsula accentuated your local character of pilgrimage, calling itself then Chakrach having very contributed to this legend the relics of the Christian martyr St. Vincent de Zaragoza.

Portugal TRIP 2012 - Sagres
Sagres Fort blowhole structure
This was fairly close to the southernmost point of the fort. It took a minute or two to work out what it was, but the loud whooshing noise through the hole gave the game away. I guess we were lucky not to get soaked when standing over it - it would have been different in high seas, like getting hit from beneath by a water cannon!!
Sagres Fort actually had quite a lot going for it in terms of things to see, nice walking opportunities and good views - especially in comparison with the adjacent Cape Sant Vincent, whose only saving grace was that it didn't add insult to injury by charging for the privilege of going into the courtyard to find that EVERY place where it might have been possible to enjoy the views from was cordoned off. But enough about Cape Sant Vincent.
Also interesting to see how similar this fort looked from the outside to Jaffna Fort, which we had visited when in SriLanka earlier in 2i12. But no surprises there, for despite the Dutch inscription over the main entrance door it had been built by the Portugese just like Sagres Fort; it had merely been taken over and extended by the Dutch.
Some asshole hacked my main ilesmark youtube account recently and deleted 100 of my videos. This isn't the first time this has happened to me and youtube appears powerless (or, more likely, uninterested) to stop it from happening to increasing numbers of people. Thus, rather than have all my vids in 1 acccount, I am going to have them in lots of small separate accounts, all beginning with the name ilesmark. That way, if the hacking occurs again the loss will be capped. Shame to have to do this, isn't it?

Sagres Point
Sagres Point (Ponta de Sagres, Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈsaɣɾɨʃ], from the Latin Promontorium Sacrum or Holy Promontory), is a windswept shelf-like promontory located in the southwest Algarve region of southern Portugal. Only 4 km to the west and 3 km to the north lies Cape St. Vincent (Portuguese: Cabo de São Vicente) which is usually taken as the southwesternmost tip of Europe.

Sagres (Portugal) in September 2010
After getting rid of Polo at the airport Faro we visited Cabo Sao Vicente: fascinating! The last Bratwurst before America made us even more hungry so we stopped to see Sagres' little port and had lunch at Restaurante A Tasca.
THE MOST DANGEROUS WALK IN ALGARVE (4K)
I spent the afternoon in Sagres, Portugal. A beautiful place. And found, by chance, what it has to be the most dangerous walk in Algarve. But it was totally worth it!

5% alcohol. Introduced in 1940. Brewed in Portugal. A Heineken International brand.
Sagres Fort fishermen
Whilst walking around Sagres Fort, we were struck by the number of rod fishermen and the vertigo-inducing height they were doing it from - easily well over 100 feet from the sea. I fon't believe I've ever seen anyone rod fishing from such a great height, especially from such a sheer cliff, with no obvious ledges to stay perched on. The stuff of nightmares - and numerous Coastguard callouts!
Algarve Sagres and Lagos Portugal
The most south-westerly resort in the Algarve is the town of Sagres. Please subscribe if you like my travel videos.
You can look at the vast expanse of the Atlantic ocean from here, it still has local charm. At one time it was thought to be the most westerly point of the world. Very windy on the cliffs, and very cold in winter. Certainly worth visiting for a day for a clear view of the Atlantic.
Lagos in the Algarve is hugely popular with tourists because it has wonderful beaches, bars, and restaurants. It has a great nightlife during the summer months. A town of great history, it also has the building where slaves were traded, known as the slave market. Something to look at and think back to days worse than the ones we live in.
