We left the walled medieval town of Obidos on a lovely small rural road through orchards, vineyards and potato fields, with a few goats and chickens too. Lovely start to the day. As we neared the coast, the fog intensified.
Unfortunately our scenic, sea view ride on a quiet road lacked a view. Oh well, it’s not raining, the dune boardwalk was nice, and it cleared a bit in the afternoon to reveal steep cliffs and long sandy beaches.
What about those Portuguese windmills? There were 10,000 by 1960s, 7000 water mills and 3000 wind mills to grind what and corn for bread and feed. We’ve seen a bunch, some falling apart other restored for accommodations and such.
Nice evening in Nazare. No big waves or surfers this time of year but great patio over the beach. (A big wave here holds the world record for surfing… 25m-ish)
