Insua Fort and Moledo Beach aerial view - Caminha - 4K Ultra HD
Insua Fort is located on a small island on the extreme northern Portugal guarding the River Minho which borders Portugal and Spain.
A Monastery was founded in 1392 by franciscans in the island over a pre-existent small ermitage. Place of cult, the island was visited by King D. Manuel I after amplification of the monastery. Several wars with Spain and invasions from corsaries obliged the construction of the existing fortress, between 1649 and 1652. Its construction was ordered by D. Diogo de Lima.
A well for drinking water supplied the garrison, consisting of a Governor (Commander) and twelve squares, alternating weekly. This well is notable for is at sea, being one of only three in the world.
Moledo Beach, on the northern end, close to the border to Spain just beside the river Minho, a lovely sandy beach, is distinguished mainly by its beautiful landscape.
The dunes are protected from wooden walkways which combine with the landscape of the mountains that extends into the horizon.

Farol do Cabo de São Vicente - St. Vincent Cape & lighthouse aerial view - Algarve - 4K Ultra HD
This cape is the southwesternmost point in Portugal.
The cliffs rise nearly vertically from the Atlantic to a height of 75 meters. The cape is a site of exuberant marine life and a high concentration of birds.
The present lighthouse is 24 metres (79 ft) high and was built over the ruins of a 16th-century Franciscan convent in 1846.
O cabo de São Vicente é um cabo situado no extremo sudoeste de Portugal continental, na freguesia de Sagres, concelho de Vila do Bispo. Fica 4 km a oeste e 3 km a norte da Ponta de Sagres, o antigo Promontorium Sacrum romano, dedicado ao deus Saturno, e onde se situa uma antiga fortaleza visitável (Fortaleza de Sagres).

Kitesurfen in Nord Portugal - MOLEDO
Der Norden Portugals ist vielseitig, deshalb ist Allyoucansurf hier. Wenn das Azorenhoch stabil und auch wirklich am richtigen Platz ist, dann sorgt dieser rechtsdrehende Wirbel mit Hilfe von Thermik und anderen lokalen Windeffekten für starken Nordwind.
Wenn der Forecast ab ca. 12 Knoten aus N - NW vorhersagt und die Sonne scheint, dann kann man meist gute 50%-80 % an Windgeschwindigkeit drauf rechnen.
Mit der Tide wandelt sich der Spot komplett und ist somit extrem vielseitig.
Welle, Flachwasser und Spielereien auf der Insel. Herrlich!
Zambujeira do Mar aerial view
Zambujeira do Mar aerial view
Enchantingly wild beaches backed by rugged cliffs form the setting of this sleepy seaside village. The main street terminates at the cliff; paths lead to the attractive sands below. Quieter than Vila Nova, Zambujeira attracts a backpacker, surfy crowd, though in August the town is a party place and hosts the massive music fest- Sudoeste.

Ponta da Piedade, Camilo beach and Dona Ana beach aerial view - Lagos - Algarve
Ponta da Piedade, Camilo Beach and Dona Ana Beach aerial view -Lagos - Algarve
With a magnificent view of the Atlantic and the shapes of cliffs carved by the sea and time, Ponte da Piedade (English: Mercy Point) is an idyllic setting of cut out rocks that sharply contrast with the greenish blue waters below.
Located 2 km from Lagos, full of grottos, unknown bays and quiet beaches, the Ponte da Piedade is particularly captivating when viewed from the sea.
Long, narrow stairs lead you down to a small cove where pretty boats wait for visitors wishing to explore this natural paradise. On these trips, experienced fishermen wind their way expertly through the gigantic stone sculptures whilst revealing their names and secrets. Some names given to these misshapen rocks and perpetuated by fishermen include General De Gaulle, Chaminé (chimney), Catedral (cathedral), Belas-Artes (fine arts), Camelo (camel), Museu (museum), Submarino (underwater), Cozinha (kitchen) and Gruta dos Amores (grotto of love).
Further enriching this setting are the many bird species that make it their habitat. A little distance away from the coastline, there are several islands on the slopes of which it is common to see nests of peregrine falcons, ravens, jackdaws, alpine swifts and pallid swifts, as well as colonies of egrets and cattle egrets.
Those daring to climb up 182 steps to the top of the lighthouse will have a view of the Ponte da Piedade promontory, which marks the limit between land and sea.
