NAZARÉ ( Beach of Nazaré)





Situated in the center of Portugal, in the coast west we have fantastic beaches with clean sands but the water is very cold.





Nazaré , founded arroud 1514, has a legend that on 1182 D. Fuas Roupinho was hunting mounted on it's horse, so involved was with a deer that he didn't noticed he was almost fall for the mountain below.

Happily Nossa traditions, festivities and typical food ( Sardines).

N
Senhora da Nazaré ( Catholic Saint) appeared and stopped his horse and saved them of deadth. Later a chapel was raised and it's on the rock the place where the horse stopped.

Nazaré is visited by people from all Portugal and foreigns. Had to it's azaré is divided in two parts, the beach and it's narrow streets, in low, but going up by an elevator or by car you can visit "sítio da Nazaré" and appreciate a fantastic sight of the beach.

















To finish I leave a curiosity, knew traditionally dressed women use 7 skirts ??

Bye
