Nazare'

This is a wonderful place. It is both a working fishing village and a vacation resort. The fishing fleet is working all the time and they have buyers around all the time and periodic auctions when a big catch comes in. Here are some guys - mostly old guys - who are unloading sardines at 11 PM. Two minutes after they finished, they went back out for more.

Here is a shot of the three of us after we landed and sobered up the next day.




Here is a shot of the city from a big hilltop. We took a cable car to the top.

Fishing is big here so there are lots of fresh fish. Here was our dinner selection one night.

They also dry fish here, right out on the beach!

Here is a close-up

The resort part is pretty - it is a big wide beach, colored umbrellas, and narrow streets.

A sunny day at the beach!

Some of the restaurants go all the way through the building.

Some apartments are small and many people use these portable cookers out in their street.

Out for a walk

The local market where we bought fixings for a boat dinner
