This quiet town boasts some exquisite architecture, spectacular scenery and beautiful beaches and what better way to enjoy them than by renting a serviced apartment or holiday letting right in the heart of Sagres.

To get a taste of some of this region’s rich history take a leisurely stroll up to the Fortaleza de Sagres. This impressive fort was built around 600 years ago and then rebuilt in the late 1700s after being destroyed by Sir Francis Drake. Inside the fort you will find a monastery and a chapel which is reputed to have been built on the site of Sao Vincente’s grave. Here you can also view the most impressive ‘Wind Rose’, a wind compass of almost 40 metres in diameter.

It is also said that Sagres is where Henry the Navigator had his School or Navigation, where great ships and their equipment were designed and built.

A visit to Cape St. Vincent offers some spectacular views and a lovely lighthouse that’s well worth a browse and the regular markets in and around this region are ideal for stocking up on fresh, local produce as well as some wonderful little keepsakes and holiday souvenirs.
