Portugal Sao Vicente Chapel
Not listed on many maps or that easy to spot if you're looking for interesting places. The clock tower sits about 2km up the valley from Sao Vicente on top of a hill. Very difficult to miss, as it's in a visible spot in the valley
Photography Tips
Don't aim too much for golden hour shots. The mountains surrounding it mean that the sunrise is shielded until long into the morning, so you might be sat there waiting a few hours for the sun to eventually light the spot.
Use your drone to showcase the location of the chapel. Use different angles and heights with or without the city. If you come here in January the Christmas lights are set up and will light up after dusk. In general, sunset is a great time for photography at this spot.

Travel Information
Parking on the street at the bottom of the hill. About a five minute walk up the steps, which also makes for a nice photo.
