Passing through Vila do Bispo on the way to Sagres, it is worth taking time to look at the octagonal tower of the main church, completed in the 18th Century. Nearby stands the Ermida de Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe, built by the Knights Templar in the 13th Century.

One can relax, enjoy the combination of fine architecture and unspoiled natural beauty, and maybe sample the local seefood, which includes rock barnacle harvested by the fishermen, at no small risk to themselves, from the rocks along the shore.

The path lies hidden among the cliffs, but Boca do Rio, can be found between the beaches of Burgau and Ingrina, villages of whitewashed houses sloping downhill towards the sea.
