Part 5

Although many tourists visit Spain, fewer tourist visit its neighbor, Portugal. This country has a
lot to offer tourists, and it has many scenic and historic sites; one of these sites being Cabo da Roca. This
site is famous, because it is the westernmost point in continental Europe. Before the age of explorers, all
the land west was unknown territory to most Europeans.
During the sixteenth century, Portugal was a major naval power. Her ships (called caravels) sailed to
Africa, Asia, and the Americas, to explore lands then unknown to most Europeans. The first ships to sail
completely around the world were commanded by a Portuguese navigator; Ferdinand Magellan.

The Portuguese are proud of their history as explorers therefore they have made Cabo da Roca a
tourist site. You can drive to the government tourist office at Cabo da Roca, then you walk several
hundred feet to a steep cliff overlooking the sea. A strong wind nearly blows you off your feet, such a
wind once filled the sails of Portuguese ships bound for the New World. If you have a good imagination,
you can almost picture the ships anchored below the cliff.

When you return to the tourist office, you can purchase a souvenir of your visit to Cabo da Roca.
It is a beautiful multicolored certificate, Resembling a medieval handwritten manuscript. The guide fills
in a space on the certificate with your name and the date of your visit; he then signs the certificate and
stamps it with a wax seal.
