PLACES YOU ARE GOING TO VISIT:

Farol
It was first constructed in 1577 but has undergone remodeling and expansion on several occasions since then. The fort is a popular tourist site, particularly because of its proximity to a surfing area famous for the height of its waves. It now functions as both a lighthouse and a museum, which is devoted in part to surfing.

Norte beach
Located to the north of the imposing Nazaré Promontory (Promontório da Nazaré), better known as “Sítio”, Praia do Norte is an unsupervised beach. It feels like a wild beach, with dunes that preserve the original vegetation.

Sitio
The Sítio district, at the town’s highest point, is without doubt the best viewpoint in the area. But it is also associated with the cult of Our Lady of Nazaré who, according to the 12th century legend, was invoked by the alcaide (commander of a fortress or castle) Dom Fuas Roupinho who, while stalking a deer, was about to fall down into an abyss with no possible salvation.
