On a road trip from the north to the south/center of Portugal, a stop in the historic town of Nazaré is a must. Famous worldwide for its colossal waves, Nazaré holds a true treasure of nature. Giant wave surfers from all over the world come here to challenge its mighty waters. A wave as high as 26 meters was once ridden by a German surfer. But Nazaré isn’t just about the enormous waves — it’s also a place steeped in culture, with some of the finest seafood and fish in all of Portugal. Nazaré is a must-visit destination for those seeking a blend of culture, history, and natural beauty.
