Are you planning a trip to Portugal's Algarve? Consider putting a road trip along the southern coast to Sagres on your travel itinerary. We went from Albufeira to Sagres. Albufeira is known for its family-friendly activities, fabulous restaurants, and wild nightlife. Its beaches are also splendid. Sagres has a laid-back, surf vibe, with some nice-looking restaurants near the ocean. Part of its claim to fame is its proximity to the end of the world, or to the end of what was known of the world before explorers like Magellan and Columbus saw that there was more to it.
Our stops along the way:
- Lagos Harbor (Lagos Marina)
- Ponta da Piedade (Piety Point). In 2020, Lonely Planet declared Ponta da Piedade one of Portugal's 10 natural wonders.
- Arte Bianca Sagres. This fantastic pizzeria offers amazing, delicious, digestible, allergy-friendly, vegetarian, vegan, and meaty, traditional pizzas - as well as some other dishes that we're sure our fantastic.
- Fort Sagres. Go for the views, natural phenomena, and history. promontoriodesa...
- Lighthouse of Cabo de Sao Vicente. This is the lighthouse at the end of the world. The views are incredible and there's a nice little spot to grab a bite and a drink and relax.

According to historians, Henrique wasn't probably even a good navagator himself LOL But he certainly encouraged and sponsored navegation at that time. Maybe the only one who to do it so systematically. About Columbus, he firstly tried to convince the Portuguese king to sponsor his voyage to "India" through the Atlantic. But the Portuguese king didn't believe (and rightly so) it was possible to go to India through the Atlantic. Only then did Columbus ask the Spanish king to sponsor him. Also, Columbus studied in Portugal for seven years. Portugal was THE hot spot back then
It still is THE spot for many things today! :)
I believe he was one guy searching an opportunity to be rich. The Portuguese had already the knowledge enough from past travels to know that there was a continent in between, which made it impossible to reach India directly. Columbus failed totally, ending poor and miserable in his last days. Even when he was the ruler of Sto Domingo, he turned to be brutal and dictatorisl, thus failing to gain the respect of his mates and forced to return to Spain.
@@chrisplusmelissa Columbus was married to Filipa de Moniz, the daughter of Isabela Moniz and Bartolomeu Peresstrelo, the first Governor of Porto Santo. (Small island near Madeira) He was married to Filipa in Lisbon in 1479 or 1480.
It is said that it was from Madeira island that Columbus got the idea of traveling west to get to India whilst watching some ocean debris floating westward due to the prevailing winds and tides.
It’s been proven that Columbus is Portuguese. He was born in Cuba, Portugal.
More Portugal, Love this. We are Arriving in April! 2wks Algarve, Obidos & Lisbon! Can't wait! Looking to see about retirement!

Thank you for tagging along!!!
O Infante D. Henrique e o mito da Escola de Sagres!
Grandes navegadores que descobriram o Mundo, "Por Mares Nunca Dantes Navegados"!
Os Portugueses os primeiros Europeus a chegar ao Japão, e Austrália 200 anos antes que os ingleses!
Portugal teve a maior e mais Pedrosa frota Naval do Mundo!
Só ver a Batalha de Diu uma das maiores batalhas Naval da História,
Vejam a Batalha do Golfo Pérsico, onde os Portugueses fizeram 3 fortes, na Ilha de Ormuz ainda lá está o Forte da Nossa Senhora da Conceição!
Boas conquistas pelo Mundo casal!❤
Very timely! We arrived in Lagos today, very glad to see your perspective. Off to the beaches of the Algarve for us.
Glad you made it to the end of the world and back again!
Have fun... it looks as if the weather is going to be delightful.
Enjoyable and entertaining video as usual. Well done, keep them coming.
Thanks! We'll do our best!
Sure have enjoyed your videos! FYI: Prince Henry the Navigator is buried in Batalha, if you have not visited the monastery, I highly recommend it!
Thank you. :)
you are wonderful
Thanks for sharing you experiencing with the navigator... I like the way explain the places you visiting. I will visiting next month... may
Here in MA USA we have a park on the seashore called World’s End. It a geography feature called a doldrum. The horizon as you look out on its pan and water you see a curved horizon like you are going to fall off the end of the globe. I am looking in Portugal vs Panama for retirement appreciate your videos!
Thank you for the sensational and “fantasticational” video … it showed us how great is Portugal, specially with your good sense of humor, you two! Thank you for bringing America to Portugal in this beautiful way, we all grow up like this, happy.
I always learn something in your videos, those statues near the houses, the blowing ocean underneath, next what will be? Try going to a flea market in Porto, Lisbon, Algarve, maybe this could be fun, what could you find?😂
That might be a good idea! We went to a flea market in Tavira in January and there were a lot of interesting trinkets.
@@chrisplusmelissa e pulgas havia algumas?
🤣
My goodness, that was fun! Very enjoyable watching you two courageous explorers on your trip to the end of the world. I found myself wondering what the temperature was that day--.it looks perfect!
It was a perfect day for sure. Low 70s if I recall.
@@chrisplusmelissa Perfect!
I subscribed your channel
Really nice
Thank you!
15:12 The Portuguese waters are one of the most busy in the entire world given the location, although you generally don't see them since they don't go nowhere near the coast (except on the ports) because strong currents and upwelling.
Ancient name of Portugal was THE Land of the extreminium 😋👍 i have houses in there 😉
Traveling the globe and logged yet another long staircase under your belt....BTW, hiking up hill also counts as staircases..
There are so many staircases around the world -- it's unbelievable! 😅
My stunning Algarve. Why do you think there's so many foreign people around here?
BREATH AAAA!😄
I use to have a colecione of maps from 9th Century forward 🤭🤫
That must been so cool. What happened to the collection?
era melhor pôr legendas, há gente que não fala inglês...
Hopefully soon. Videos take a long time to make and we sometimes struggle getting our english videos completed. :)
Read better books Prince Henrique the navigator had the school there
In Alentejo!? Is one of best regions to eat, and MORE! You are just eating foreigners food 😮 tradicional is much better 😋🤭🤫😉
Algarve 🙄🤔 eat fish (grilled), and yes COLOMBO suposedly born in Olhão and went to Italy at five
You're too obsessed about a navigator that did nothing for Portugal and wasn't part of portuguese discoveries' generation. And he might have or might have not sunk on our shores, that's not an undisputable fact.
LOVE this!!
Thanks! :D
