Cape Saint Vincent, Algarve

Cape St Vincent saw important sea battles, including one involving, arguably, the greatest naval hero of all time. It was there in 1797 that Horatio Nelson in a small 74-gun ship took on the world’s largest warship, the 136-gun Santissima Trinidad and two other behemoths, with a total of 330 guns. He broke their line, led boarding parties, and captured all three. A trip to Cabo de São Vicente (Cape St Vincent), Europe’s southwesternmost point, is a must.
