Lisbon is not located directly at the sea, but at the delta of the river Tejo.

So we continued out trip and drove to Coba da Roca – the westernmost point of Europe. A breathtaking cliff. A few kilometers further we took a short hike through the cliffs – what an adventure!

In the afternoon we went to Sintra – because we had only little time we visited only Quinta da Regaleira and the old town of Sintra.
