The end of the world, as sailors once knew it: Vila do Bispo holds Sagres, Cabo de São Vicente and the wild surf beaches of the far south-west, with Salema and Burgau on the gentler southern shore. This is everything happening across the concelho: the towns, the beaches, the events and the businesses, brought together and kept current by the community.
