Ambassador of Portugal: Mr Antonio Santana Carlos Thinking of Cabo da Roca
On a first thought, I am thinking of Cabo da Roca, which is in the westernmost tip of Europe. It is a very beautiful place, and we call it a place at the end of the land and the starting point of ocean. Compared with sea coasts in other places, Cabo da Roca is really quite special. The sheer precipices stretch into the sea just like solitary arms, and you will feel that you have already arrived at the very end of the earth. Every traveler visiting the cape can buy a special souvenir at a price of €5 (50 yuan). It is a certificate which is awarded by the local tourism administration and carries a picture of the geographical position of Cabo da Roca and the national emblem of Portugal. Meanwhile, there is also a sentence on it: A certain person comes to the westernmost tip of the European continent on a certain time. Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing once composed a poem at Cabo da Roca.
