In order to plan your tourist tour of the surroundings of Lisbon You may have heard of the Mouth of Hell, since it is one of the most visited corners by tourists in this area close to Estoril.
I will tell you that the Mouth of Hell It's a peculiar paraje natural Located on the Atlantic coast, very close to Cascais, which you reach by the road that connects this town with a long tradition as the residence of European monarchies, with the most famous beach in this area of Portugal, Guincho.
A car park and numerous stalls remembrances, next to a restaurant, will allow you to identify where the Mouth of Hell.
All the information in detail
What to see in Hell's Mouth in Cascais
As you go down a short path towards the coast, on the right you can see a large hole in the rock where, on days when the sea is rough, the large waves hit the rock walls causing a huge white foam.
At the end of the path you reach a gazebo Located on top of a cliff, where at dusk you can enjoy beautiful sunsets.
From this viewpoint you can see the large gap that opens in the rocky cliff, where the waves enter towards the Mouth of Hell.
And if you look closely, it is easy to understand the theory that, in reality, this place is the result of there being a large cave whose upper part eventually sank due to erosion.
If during your visit you want to continue enjoying this coastal area of Boca del Infierno, a good option is to eat at the restaurant which is next to the parking lot, from where you have good panoramic views of these coastal landscapes, and where you can taste their numerous fish and seafood specialties.

Sorry, I was wrong, I didn't go to Coimbra, I went to Sintra, hahaha. Age lapse…
I understand that kind of lapse :)
Thank you very much for your understanding Jose Luis. Hugs
The truth is that it is a shame not to have discovered this sooner since I was in Lisbon not long ago, I was able to see Coimbra and such but I would have liked to see this having been so close. Very interesting article.
