the edge of the world

This site was once considered the edge of the world by the Spanish and Portuguese, and it's easy to see why. A series of staggering cliffs along the Atlantic Ocean in Portugal create the appearance that the land has just dropped off, and powerful waves crashing at the bottom contribute to the apocalyptic atmosphere.



Brave Columbus and crew set sail in the direction of the "edge" in search of a shorter route to India...the rest is history.

If I ever were to commit suicide, I'd jump off these cliffs so that I would be known as the girl who jumped off the edge of the world.
