The Cabo da Roca Lighthouse (Portuguese: Farol de Cabo da Roca) is a beacon/lighthouse located 165 metres (541 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean, on Portugal's (and continental Europe's) most westerly extent (Cabo da Roca). It is located in the civil parish of Colares, in the municipality of Sintra, situated on a promontory that juts out into the ocean, made up of granite boulders and interspersed limestone. It is a third-order lighthouse, which originally began operating in 1772. It was the first new purpose-built lighthouse to be constructed in the country: the older lighthouses in existence at that time, were constructed on existing platforms or from pre-existing beacons.

Trolltunga ( translates to the Troll's tongue) is like a tongue sticking out of the mountain about 1200 meters above sea level. From the tongue itself, it's about 700 meters down to the underlying lake. Trolltunga is one of the most spectacular rock formations in Norway. It’s located near Odda in the western part of Norway. It was made approximately 10.000 years ago during the ice age. Water coming from the remaining melting glacier on top of the mountain, pour down in cracks and froze. Eventually large blocks of rock broke off and sometimes created formations like this.
My wife, me and our dog took the long hike to Trolltunga recently. We arrived late and found a beautiful place for our tent. There must have been almost 25 degrees hot, so even a bath in the cold mountain water were really pleasant. It's a pretty hard 11 km trip and the first kilometre has a climb of over 450 m so the need for a bath was a real necessity. At the campsite it was difficult to place our tent plugs so we had to secure the tent wich stones. My wife was amazed at how easy it was to literally tear loose stones from the mountain. So the next morning, when she sat with her feet outside the tongue, I couldn't help thinking of the porous rock. I didn't go out.

Known to be inhabited at least since the 6th century BC by Phoneticians, Greeks and Carthaginians, the area of the S. Jorge castle is referred clearly in historical terms since the conquest by the Romans, being believed that by the time some kind of defensive structure already existed.
With the fall of the Roman Empire under the hands of the “barbarians”, and in the 6th century of these to the Arab conquerors, this castle was always a stage of battles, especially during the Christian re-conquest of the territory, being frequently taken by Christians and later on by the Arabs.
Still, in 1147 by the hand of D. Afonso Henriques (the first Portuguese king) and with the help of crusaders that were going to the holy-land, the castle was definitively conquered after a siege of 3 months. The story tells that the knight Martim Moniz, taking notice that one of the doors of the castle has been opened rushed into it placing his body among them and sacrificing himself. He prevented it to be closed though and allowed for the conquest of the fortress.
After this event, the castle resisted successfully to several Arab conquest attempts from 1179 to 1183.
Becoming Lisbon, in 1255, the capital of the reign, the castle was converted into royal palace which lead for it to be attacked several times by the Spanish in the attempts to conquer Portugal during the 13th and 14th century.
But with the damage made along centuries by earthquakes, especially in 1755, and the change of the royal palace to the Tagus River shores the S. Jorge castle entered in long decline being used as prison and military head-quarters. It was recovered during the 1940’s and 1990’s and it’s one of the most important places to visit in Lisbon, as it has some of the most magnificent views over the river and especially the medieval quarters of the town.
