Raposeira
A quiet village near Sagres linked to Henry the Navigator, with a medieval chapel, menhirs and surf beaches nearby.
Raposeira is a small village in the Vila do Bispo municipality, on the road towards Sagres. It is associated with Henry the Navigator, who is said to have lived here for a time, and close by stands the chapel of Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe, a medieval building that survived the 1755 earthquake.
Groups of prehistoric menhirs lie in the countryside around the village, and the south-coast beaches of Ingrina and Zavial are a short drive away. Raposeira is peaceful and windy, drawing walkers, surfers and travellers exploring the far west.
