Baía de Medronho is a breathtaking natural attraction situated at the end of the road in Trás os Montes. To reach the bay, visitors embark on a roughly one-hour hike that transitions from rugged paths to light forests, offering spectacular panoramic views along the way. The area is a haven for wildlife, where one might spot kingfishers and local goats roaming the cliffs. In July, the beach becomes a significant site for turtles arriving to lay their eggs. This deserted bay is the perfect destination for travelers looking to immerse themselves in the quiet beauty of Cape Verde's coastline.
