NAZARE GEM

This small town right on the ocean was on Paul's bucket list. As I was planning the trip I realized a day trip from Lisbon was not going to work. I booked less nights in Lisbon and booked three nights in Nazare. I splurged on the Airbnb, this was a place with a huge window looking down at this famous beach.  Nazare has the steepest hills so far...... I know this because the Airbnb was at the top of the highest hill! Great views means great climbs!

The sunset is so beautiful there too!














This town is famous for the largest waves in the world. Starting in November onward the waves start building. The surfers and other dare devils start arriving along with the spectators!




IIn Nazare and many other Portuguese towns, there are wild and free cats. These cats seem well fed and friendly. In Nazare we saw many cat "houses" where residents can drop off food and water. Everyone shares this cat caring endeavor.



All these little cubby holes have a blanket in them with cat food.

BTW We didn't see mice or rats anywhere!

There are many fishermen (women) here. They dry their catch right on a section of this huge beach. It was such an interesting  sight. 



Remember to check the post titled Time Line for more up to date photos.

This Airbnb has slow internet,  I am not able to post a video right now.
