What people say

Joana Costa
"Ponte da Piedade is a natural landmark located near Lagos, in the Algarve region of Portugal. It is renowned for its breathtaking rock formations and stunning coastal views. Ponte da Piedade translates to "Piety Bridge" in English, and it refers to the majestic rock formations that resemble a bridge spanning across the crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean. These unique and dramatic cliffs, carved by erosion over thousands of years, have created a mesmerizing natural spectacle. Visitors can access Ponte da Piedade by descending a staircase or taking a boat tour from Lagos. Once there, they can explore the area on foot, following the wooden pathways that wind around the cliffs and offer panoramic vistas of the coastline. The rock formations include towering pillars, arches, and hidden grottoes, each revealing a different perspective of nature's artistry. The turquoise waters that surround Ponte da Piedade are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or taking a leisurely boat trip to admire the cliffs from a different perspective. Photographers and nature enthusiasts will find endless opportunities to capture the beauty of this natural wonder. The area surrounding Ponte da Piedade is also rich in marine life, making it a popular spot for diving and exploring underwater caves and tunnels. Ponte da Piedade is not only a feast for the eyes but also a place of tranquility and natural beauty. It exemplifies the awe-inspiring wonders of the Algarve coastline and is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a connection with nature's grandeur."
"For the citizens of Rome, Cape St. Vincent was the “Edge of the World”, a supernatural vortex where the setting sun was dramatically submerged by the immense, unknown ocean. "

"You can spend quite some time here walking around and taking in the views. Be careful at the cliffs though!"
