Cabo Espichel, the sanctuary on the cliff

At the westernmost point of the Sesimbra coast, a wind-swept esplanade ends in vertical cliffs. There stands the sanctuary of Nossa Senhora do Cabo: the church of 1701–1707, the two wings of pilgrim lodgings, the Casa da Água of 1770 with its aqueduct and, at the edge of the escarpment, the Ermida da Memória, where according to legend the image of the Virgin appeared in 1410. The grounds are always open; the church is visited from Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 13:30 and from 14:30 to 17:00, free.

It is about 15 km from the town; the Carris Metropolitana 3205 bus leaves from the Sesimbra terminal. There are no railings along almost any of the edge: with children, hold hands. The full listing, with the dinosaur footprints, is in the Arrábida range.
