| Description |
El cabo de San Vicente (en portugués Cabo de São Vicente) es un accidente geográfico situado en el extremo sudoeste de Portugal, que marca el límite occidental del golfo de Cádiz. Se encuentra cerca de Sagres, concejo de Vila do Bispo. Se le conocía en tiempos romanos como Promontorium Sacrum, lugar dedicado al dios Saturno. En el cabo hay una antigua fortaleza visitable y un faro. En Lagos, a 25 km del cabo hacia el este, el Infante Enrique el Navegante estableció su escuela de navegación en el siglo XV, impulsora de los grandes descubrimientos portugueses. Desde el cabo es posible apreciar el paso de barcos que transitan entre el Mediterráneo y el norte de Europa. Estrabón (63 a. C. o 64 a. C. – 23 d. C.) al describir la península ibérica, dijo de él que «no era el punto más occidental de Europa, sino de todo el mundo habitado». Frente a este cabo se produjo la conocida como batalla del Cabo de San Vicente el 14 de febrero de 1797, aunque otras batallas anteriores también recibieron el mismo nombre. Cape St. Vincent Cape St. Vincent (Portuguese: Cabo de São Vicente, ), next to the Sagres Point, on the so-called Costa Vicentina (Vincentine Coast), is a headland in the municipality of Sagres, in the Algarve, southern Portugal. This cape is the southwesternmost point in Portugal. It forms the southwestern end of the European Coastal Path, which runs for 5,000 km (3,100 mi) to Narva-Jõesuu in Estonia. Approximately six kilometers from the village of Sagres, the cape is a landmark for a ship traveling to or from the Mediterranean. The cliffs rise nearly vertically from the Atlantic to a height of 75 meters. The cape is a site of exuberant marine life and a high concentration of birds nesting on the cliffs, such as the rare Bonelli's eagle, peregrine falcons, kites, rock thrushes, rock pigeons, storks and herons. |
