Boca do Inferno

Lydia Evans/Apa Publications

The road out of Cascais to the west passes Boca do Inferno (Mouth of Hell), a geological curiosity where, in rough weather, the waves send up astonishingly high spouts of spray accompanied by ferocious sound effects. On a day when the sea is calm, you’ll wonder what all the fuss is about.

Surfer in Guincho

Lydia Evans/Apa Publications

Cabo da Roca

At Guincho, you have the choice of either a sandy beach or the rocks to fish from, but be careful – they face the open sea and it’s often rough, and hence a windsurfer’s heaven. Just up the coast you can see the windswept cape of Cabo da Roca, the most westerly point of mainland Europe. You can reach the cape by continuing on from Guincho, through Malveira, and then turning left. A right turn at the same points leads you along a winding road through the glorious, pine-scented Serra de Sintra, finishing up back in Sintra (for more information, click here).
