    Hiking

    Lapela is one of the most famous places in Cabril, as it was the birthplace of João Rodrigues Cabrilho, a 16th-century Portuguese explorer and navigator. During his time in the service of the Spanish crown, João Rodrigues Cabrilho was the first European to set foot in what is now the state of California.
