Vila do Bispo

Vila do Bispo is a Portuguese town and municipality located at the extreme southwestern tip of continental Europe. The location is almost entirely encompassed by the Costa Vicentina Natural Park, defined by its wild, rugged coastline and dramatic cliffs. The municipality includes Cape St. Vincent (Cabo de São Vicente), the southwestern most geographical point of the European continent. This area is historically crucial, maintaining a strong connection to the Portuguese Age of Discovery. Vila do Bispo functions primarily as a nature and heritage tourism destination, favored for its unspoiled beaches, surfing activities, and historical fortifications. The landscape preserves unique maritime flora and remote, exposed position.
