Neighborhood Guide: Ericeira

A surfing paradise in Portugal

It's a relaxed state of affairs in Ericeira. In the past 10 years, it's evolved from a small fishing village to a cool refuge for surfers from all over Europe. Nestled between Sintra and Peniche, and just below the monster waves at Nazare, this is the ideal place to hideout for a few months making the most of the Atlantic Coast, long hours of sunshine and locally caught seafood.
