Therefore we decided to make the best of our last day of sun and headed to Nazar\u00e9. It was our first time there and well worth it. Although the summer crowds had gone there were enough people about to give it a bit of life. We didn\u2019t actually make it to Nazar\u00e9 until later in the afternoon as we first headed to the clifftop village of Sitio for its stunning views. From the lighthouse you can see beaches spreading north for miles and we were captivated by the sight of the crashing waves on the rocks below. Back in the pretty village, we stayed for lunch in a pleasant seafood restaurant (all the restaurants are seafood restaurants by the way) overlooking the picturesque square. Here, we watched the old women in traditional costumes showing the tourists their multilayed petticoats and selling them dried fruit.<br \/>\nSuitably refreshed we headed down to Nazar\u00e9 proper. Again, we were pleasantly surprised. The beach was wonderful, the sun was warm and the sea breeze refreshing but not cold. Rather than selling dried fruit, here the colourful old ladies were drying fish on racks. But by now it was getting late. We headed off. We will have to explore the intriguing old cobbled streets behind the seafront at a later date. For we shall return.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalwanderings.co.uk\/countries\/portugal\/nazare\/1.jpg\" alt=\"Nazare\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalwanderings.co.uk\/countries\/portugal\/nazare\/2.jpg\" alt=\"Nazare\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalwanderings.co.uk\/countries\/portugal\/nazare\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Nazare\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalwanderings.co.uk\/countries\/portugal\/nazare\/4.jpg\" alt=\"Nazare\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Church_of_Nossa_Senhora_da_Nazar%C3%A9\">Church of Nossa Senhora da Nazare<\/a> at the Sitio<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalwanderings.co.uk\/countries\/portugal\/nazare\/5.jpg\" alt=\"Nazare\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalwanderings.co.uk\/countries\/portugal\/nazare\/6.jpg\" alt=\"Nazare\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalwanderings.co.uk\/countries\/portugal\/nazare\/7.jpg\" alt=\"Nazare\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalwanderings.co.uk\/countries\/portugal\/nazare\/8.jpg\" alt=\"Nazare\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalwanderings.co.uk\/countries\/portugal\/nazare\/9.jpg\" alt=\"Nazare\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalwanderings.co.uk\/countries\/portugal\/nazare\/10.jpg\" alt=\"Nazare\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalwanderings.co.uk\/countries\/portugal\/nazare\/11.jpg\" alt=\"Nazare\" \/><\/p>\n<p>More photos <a href=\"https:\/\/photos.app.goo.gl\/WNS89S7zjkYvJDaZ8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After months of desert-like conditions in Central Portugal (we had no rain at all even in September), a week of rain was forecast for the first week of October.
