Food & Drink
Eating in Nazaré
The region of Nazaré has always been extremely rich in all sorts of fish varieties. No wonder that fish plays a major role in the gastronomic tradition of Nazaré. Fish comes in many shapes and it can be cooked in several different ways: grilled, in the oven or simply dry. Authenticity is the motto.
Food & Drink
Eating in Aveiro
Aveiro cuisine is naturally deeply influenced by the sea flavours, for there are many restaurants in the city where we can eat the freshest fish varieties and seafood. And obviously, codfish. Portugal's favourite fish.
Beaches & Surf
Nazaré Big Waves
The Nazaré Canyon is the reason why the waves are so big and so high breaking. This makes Nazaré a hotspot for big wave surfing.
Arts & Culture
Street art in Viseu
The motto of the street art interventions in Viseu was the wine, since Viseu is the heart of Dão wine region, known for its remarkable wines.
