Torre de Aspa: highest elevation of the Costa Vicentina |
|
| With its 156 m the Torre des Aspa is the highest elevation at the Costa VIcentina, the still almost untouched western coast of the Algarve. The way from the district capital Vila do Bispo across the blossoming and aromatic smelling heath is not easyly to find. And the last miles over lanes full of road holes are a challenge for each driver - unless you have an off-roader. But the great views (to the south til Sagres) and to the north (picture below) will more than compensate you for your efforts. |
