Serra da Pescaria
To the south of Nazaré, an outcrop parallel to the coastline where the oldest rocks in the Nazaré region appear, from around 154 million years ago. They are deposits from the Upper Jurassic, which show a close connection with tectonic activity, linked to the 2nd phase of "rifting" of the opening of the Atlantic Ocean and separation of the supercontinent Pangea. The structures present in the Serra da Pescaria also underwent tectonic changes due to the diapiric intrusion characterized by “Margas da Gorda” which originated the “typhonic valley” of Caldas da Rainha. This formation, delimited by inverse faults, originated a valley covered by Mesozoic and Cenozoic sediments, where, on the western edge, we will find the Serra da Pescaria.
Salgado beach
On the western edge of Serra da Pescaria, in the coastal sector of the region south of Nazaré, from the mouth of the Alcoa river to the limit of Salgado beach, we can find an active dune structure, quite complex, formed by two dune cords, separated by an interdune corridor where plant associations show the different mesological conditions that characterize this coastline.
Dinosaur tracks
Late Jurassic structure is essentially characterized by two distinct formations: the “Montejunto Layers”, which date from the Middle to Upper Oxfordian; and Kimeridgiano's “Layers of Alcobaça” (transgressive episode). In these formations, essentially limestone to limestone-margose, we can see two dinosaur tracks, one of them in a sub-vertical layer covered with trace fossils of the genus Thalassinoides. In addition to these dinosaur footprints, we can also observe a large number of other fossils of essentially marine organisms such as bivalves, gastropods, corals, oncoliths, rudists and sponges that indicate a marine facies of higher temperature waters, corresponding to more tropical climates.
Capela de Santa Ana
One of the oldest buildings in the municipality, it may have been built in the 12th century. It served as a place of prayer and farewell for fishermen, where family members would go to see them off and on. Until the beginning of the 20th century, processions were still made from Salir do Porto to this chapel, although by then it had fallen into disrepair. It gradually lost the importance it once had and was left in total ruin. The chapel, which had fallen into disrepair, and the surrounding area have been restored, making it easier to visit and to organise religious events, especially pilgrimages, and to revive old traditions.

My wife and I had a wonderful time today! Normally, I like to do MTB tours on my own, but the price difference between rental and a tour was so little that we took the tour. (Also, I didn't bring my gps) Vasco took us to trails, places, and viewpoints I would never find by myself. A day full of adventure and great sightseeing. The bikes were top-notch quality and brand new, which made the trail much easier. Would definitely recommend it. Next time, we will come back for the other tours! Thank you!

We had an amazing day doing the Silver Coast Sur bike tour with Vasco! Our family of 4 wanted an active and adventurous way to see sights along the coastline during our 10 day roadtrip. Irondeer delivered! Beautiful and interesting viewpoints we never would have seen otherwise. Vasco was professional, patient, and super friendly. I would say that this particular tour route requires physical stamina but if you’re moderately active you’ll be fine. E-bikes are easy to learn and Vasco has really nice and well maintained equipment. This was one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you Vasco!

Our tour with Vasco was definitely one of the highlights of our holidays in Portugal. The value we got for the price with paid was insane, from the top-spec bikes (Orbea RISE H15!!!) to the guidance and nice attitude of Vasco, who knows every single trail in the area by heart … I would do it again without any doubt. Vasco adapted the ride to our technical level, which made the experience a pure pleasure, without having to worry about anything. Thanks a ton for the best 4h of our vacations.

We had the best time going on an e-bike tour with Vasco! He is an experienced cyclist who knows the area very well. The bikes are extremely high quality, and built to endure mountain biking trails, but he can tailor your adventure to mountain biking or street riding. There were three of us, and two were not comfortable riding on difficult trails, so we did mostly streets with a few simple trails. We saw so much that we wouldn’t have otherwise! Dinosaur tracks, a hangliding takeoff point, small towns in the hills, the piers south of Nazaré, and views of Nazare from the other side. We also got to stop and enjoy some coffee and pastries. Some of the views were obscured because it was a foggy day (this is why I included fewer pictures), but we still had an amazing time.
We highly recommend it. The pedal assist makes it pretty simple - the hills would be insane without it! This was easily one of the highlights of our visit to Nazaré.

My son and I went on the advanced 50km tour. It was absolutely fantastic. We had an incredible time!
Vladislav was the perfect tour guide. He struck a great balance between riding and sightseeing. It was a fantastic route.
The bikes were top quality too, with Fox components throughout.
I literally cannot recommend Irondeer highly enough.
Thank you Vladislav for a truly brilliant day!

Top 5 experience of our 2 month visit to Portugal, Vasco was very knowledgeable of the area and culture, he tailored the tour to our experience level giving us options on the route (do you want to take mountain trail or the street?). The tour included gloves, water, and a helmet he did not try to add additional costs like so many other tours. The bikes were brand new high end enduro eMTBs that can handle any terrain. We look forward to another tour with Vasco when we return to Portugal with our son as Vasco said he has some single track trails that would challenge his MTB skills, what a great experience
