PRAIA DA NAZARÉ, NAZARÉ
- Unquestionably, one of the most popular resorts in this region, Nazaré is one of the most traditional of fishing villages where women still opt to follow custom and don the seven skirts regional dress as they care for the fish salt drying on wooden frames exposed to the sun. The Beach, falling entirely within the town's limits, maintains the traditional canvas shelters in brightly coloured strips, with the seas below wild and with strong waves providing for excellent surfing and bodyboarding conditions.
In order to best take in the beauty of this stretch of coast, head up to Sítio on the hundred year old lift that connects the centre of the town with its highest reaches. - Directions
