One of the areas of this natural park that is very beautiful is the top of the cliffs, next to the Atlantic, close to the westernmost point of Europe, Cabo da Roca.
Here the landscape is brutal, the view is unbelievably beautiful and the huge cliffs, over 90 meters high, shaped by the force of the Atlantic and the wind, are wonderful.
And here, in a place of difficult access, we find another curiosity, the Fojo do Alvidrar.
Fojo do Alvidral it's a huge crater (90 mt), like a well, in the shape of a cone, which at the bottom has sea water.
It's a surprising place, about which there are several legends and which is just one more example of everything you can find and discover during this tour.
