One day after we walked up “our steps” we turned right instead of left as we had done on previous days. The wide cobblestone walkway turned into a dirt track with a small fence to keep one from wandering over the edge.
Anywhere you looked on the beach of Praia da Rocha the views were spectacular.
Be nice to know when the stairs on the right were last used…the path goes to the very edge of the cliff.
When you look up close, the cliff walls are partially made of compacted shells.
From the top there are lots of areas with steps that go down to the beach. this one wasn’t too bad, only 85. There are sure lots of ‘private’ little beach areas surrounded by cliff walls.
The colours are amazing. When the sun would come out, the cliffs looked so vibrant.
This is a big circular cliff wall with a hole at the bottom. Hard to capture it.
Look way down.
We did not walk to the end of the path. Apparently it goes on for several more kilometres. By the time we got home the sun was setting. Time to call it a day. And what a day!
And this is all just a few minutes walk from our apartment.
Cheers
