The place to the west where the European Continent ends.

Cabo da Roca is the Westernmost point in the European Continent.

According to Portuguese legend; this is the point where we say goodbye to the sun and watch it go across the Atlantic.

In the Medieval times, it is one of major route, where hundreds of Portuguese ships sailed in perilous journeys, many of which never to return.

In the ancient world, it is the place where the Roman world ended, the place where the Ocean, the unnamed sea, began unnamed because, according to Polybius, no one had ever explored it.
