The walking path along the Ponta de Piedade (Cliff of Piety) is one of the well visited highlights of the port city of Lagos. Walking along the 20 m high cliffs one can admire a landscape with imaginative rock formations, tunnels and gates, all formed by the relentless gnawing of the oncoming sea.
The trail begins at the car park in front of the Lagos lighthouse. From here, also a stairway leads down to a boat dock, from which numerous boat tours to the grottos take place every day. But I had decided to enjoy the view on foot from above.
Here some of the photographic impressions which I brought back from there:
The lighthouse of Lagos at which the walk begins. The path is mainly laid out as a wooden footbridge to protect the surrounding flora. In the foreground an agave so typical for the region.
Steady boat traffic brings the visitors there and back.
Like at the Cabo de São Vicente no fence to protect you from taking that one step too far.
I need to get some of that potion.
I hope you enjoyed this little cliff walk. Until next time!
