Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: Rising to 601 meters, these cliffs are among the highest sea cliffs in Europe, offering dramatic views over the Atlantic. Local fishermen still use ancient paths carved into the rock to access the ocean below.
Punti salienti: A narrow stairway called the "Stairway to Heaven" descends nearly 200 steps alongside the steep cliffs, offering heart-stopping views of crashing waves far below. The cliffs drop sharply into the Atlantic Ocean, creating wind-swept paths with panoramic vistas stretching over 30 kilometers of rugged coastline.
Consigli da insider
- Wear sturdy shoes as paths can be slippery and uneven.
- Capture the best photos near the top of the stairway at golden hour for dramatic lighting.
- Avoid weekends to skip crowds and enjoy quieter trails.
- Bring a windproof jacket; the Atlantic breeze can be strong and chilly even in summer.
