Enjoy this 9.8-km loop trail near Ribamar. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 3 h to complete. This is a popular trail for hiking, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime.

Praia do Norte is a beach located in Nazaré, which due to its giant white breaking waves is famed for its surfing conditions. Nazaré's waves were listed on the Guinness Book of Records for the biggest waves ever surfed! Giant waves mostly in winter time, but in summer the views and beaches are fantastic too!

Consejos sobre la ciudad

Cómo moverse

Renting a car or public transport or airport trandfer?

With your own car it's way easier to explore all the nice small beaches and towns in the Silver Coast area. Never rent a car directly from car agencies/airport but use rental comparison sites as autoeurope giving way better prices! However, if you'd like to arrive via public transport you can check out the Expressos bus line between Lisbon (Sete Rios) and Lourinha via Rede-expressos site. If you'd like a bit more convenience, our hosts can offer an transfer from Lisbon Airport to our Villa for €70,- one way in a car/mini van with space for 4 people.
