Help - Need to identify a place!!!
Travellers of the world, please help.
I was once shown a postcard of a place in Portugal with a huge (I mean really huge) wave battering a cliff. I think there were some people standing on this cliff and they seemed small ants compared to size of the wave. Can someone tell me where it is? I mentioned it to some friends and now they want to visit the place. Thanks in advance for any hints!

it sounds to me like some of the cliffs in the algarve...but I could be wrong. Perhaps somewhere like Ponta da Piedade or Praia da Rocha.
There are some photos on these pages

Thanks for the replies.
From the descriptions, it looks like it is boca do inferno (hell's mouth). Does anyone have a picture of the place during high tide/stormy weather for me to confirm?
