Cape Roca, Portugal 🇵🇹

The westernmost point of Europe.

[earthstory]

The Edge of the World Cape Roca in Portugal’s Sintra Cascais Natural Park is the westernmost point of mainland Europe. In fact, up until the late 14th century, there were people who thought it was the edge of the world. The cape has sandy beaches and magnificent cliffs that have been sculpted by waves and continuous strong winds. Many of the cliffs are over 100 meters (330 feet) in height. They are a mix of granite, sedimentary (mostly limestone and marlstone), and metamorphic rock formed where the granite and sedimentary have mixed. - RE Photo Credit: Husondhttp://bit.ly/1H75tr4 References http://bit.ly/1Bnk2Vv http://bit.ly/1FBoAM4
