Nazare - Portugal HD
The Nazaré beach, with a mild climate and natural beauty, has the oldest traditions of Portugal linked to the fishing arts.
The long, crescent-shaped beach, which is also the seafront of the city, is known for its grandeur and brightly colored awnings that decorate the white sand beach in contrast to the blue of the water.
This is the beach of Portugal where the traditions of fishing are more colorful and it is not uncommon to cross with the fishmongers who still wear the seven skirts, as tradition says. On a late Saturday afternoon in the summer months, it is essential to sit on the wall watching the interesting spectacle of Arte Xávega, where fish nets arrive from the sea and the women shout their trading sessions. If we do not exactly understand the words, it's nothing to worry about. These are codes that often only they know.
Facing the sea, on the right side, we see an impressive promontory. It is the Site, where we have one of the most known panoramic views of the Portuguese coast. There are 318 meters of rock falling steeply to the sea, which is reached on foot, for the most courageous, or climbing the elevator. At the top, we find the little Hermitage of Memory, where we can tell the legend of the miracle that Our Lady made preventing the horse of a nobleman, D. Fuas Roupinho, from launching on the cliff. True or not, in the Mirador de Suberco we can see the sign left on the rock by the horseshoe on this foggy morning of 1182. In the Sítio, we can still visit the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazaré and not far away, the Dr. Joaquim Manso Museum To learn more about the Nazarene traditions.
From the Sítio and with time for a walk, crossing Pedralva Park, you come to Pederneira, a natural lookout point with a must see on the coast of Nazaré.
Nowadays, the great attraction of this city is the waves and the surf, thanks to the Canção da Nazaré, a submarine geomorphological phenomenon that allows the formation of giant and perfect waves. It is the largest submerged gorge in Europe, with about 170 kilometers along the coast, which is 5000 meters deep.
Hawaiian surfer Garrett McNamara gave him world-wide visibility when in 2011 he made the world's largest sand-bottom wave, about 30 meters long, at Praia do Norte, winning the Billabong XXL Global BigWave Awards and setting a record Of the Guinness Book. Similarly, surfers from all over the world visit Nazareth every year to venture into the sea. On the beach, sunbathing is also appreciated and an excellent audience to appreciate the feats of these young people.
To get to know Nazaré you do not need a relaxed stroll through the narrow streets, perpendicular to the beach, and a break in one of the restaurants to enjoy a plate of fresh seafood, grilled fish or an appetizing stew. And at dusk, nothing like enjoying the setting sun on any terrace overlooking the sea, as the lights come on and dusk.

Mosteiro de Alcobaça - Ordem de Cister em Portugal
A Abadia de Santa Maria de Alcobaça constitui o melhor, mais expressivo e belo documento, existente, de arquitectura cisterciense em toda a Europa cristã. A construção inicial, como a de todas as velhas abadias da Ordem, envolveu-se pelo tempo fora de outras construções, pelas necessidades da clausura e pelas exigências de novas preocupações estéticas.

Estoril - Cascais - Sintra - The Riviera of Portugal
Often called The Riviera of Portugal, the coastal regions of Estoril and Cascais are known for their beautiful beaches, pleasant climate throughout the year and a thoroughly modern cosmopolitan atmosphere. These area's area are known in particular as the home of some of the most beautiful homes in Portugal and indeed, in Europe.
Estoril has a wealth of attractions to offer visitors, including Europe's largest casino, no less than ten world class golf courses in the region, international schools, marinas and unequalled beaches along its waterfront, luxury hotels, tennis facilities, health clubs, equestrian centers and certainly no shortage of gourmet dining and excellent shopping.
Another of Estoril's many claims to fame is that Ian Fleming, best known for his series of James Bond novels spent much of World War II in Estoril as a spy for MI6. His book Casino Royale is partly based on his time in Estoril - and the film version of the Bond novel On Her Majesty's Service was filmed in Estoril and the nearby town of Sintra.
Located just 15 miles from Lisbon International Airport and even closer to Tires Airport (which is a private airport), Estoril is located perfectly for anyone in search of a vacation property, a permanent home to settle down in or simply to visit while on holiday. Cascais, a pleasant seaside town is close enough to walk to from Estoril, all the charm of Sintra a short drive of ten minutes away; and even all of the activity and culture of Lisbon is less than twenty minutes away by car. As you would expect from its proximity to the city of Lisbon, Estoril is a city which is up to the minute and offers leisure, sport, nightlife and cultural activities to rival any other in Europe.
Cascais is has a slower pace, despite being so close to the bustle of Estoril and Lisbon; this is a fishing village where life still follows traditional patterns in many ways. If you'll be in Estoril or Lisbon, Cascais is a place you simply must see. You can enjoy the beauty of Guincho Beach, located on the Atlantic Ocean, visit the Cascais historical center, or take a quick trip back to Estoril and its many golf courses.
Sintra, a town which holds the distinction of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a town which has lost none of its charm despite the short distance to all the modern amenities of Estoril and Lisbon. The town is located in a microclimate which allows incredible gardens and orchids to thrive nearly the whole year round. Sintra was formerly the summer home of the Royal Family of Portugal, so here you will see their royal palace, the Palacio da Pena, which looks as if it came right out of a fairytale. Lord Byron's source of inspiration for his renowned poem Childe Harold was Sintra's Monserratte gardens, which should be on your list of places to see in this incredibly charming Portuguese town.
It's easier than ever to visit Sintra and see all of its historic charm thanks to recent transportation upgrades which allow you to make your way to the beach at Estoril or Cascais or the many golf courses to be found nearby in just minutes. Since Sintra is also only 25 minutes away from Lisbon Airport by car, you could literally be here within minutes of landing. Living in Sintra means living amongst the rich history and culture of Portugal and literally walking in the footsteps of royalty.
