“ where the land finishes and the sea starts …”
Visiting Cabo da Roca (the western European point) you can read this ancient believing ; in such a strong way it has a lot of sense if you take a look along the history…
Portugal has always looked to the ocean more than to an European heartland; and this relation wuth the sea has had a strong influence in people's way of act .It's a country of sailors and adventurers; a land of travellers that adapt theirselves wherever they emigrate and that converts in Portuguese from heart and soul every newcomer.
Travelling around its 1793 km of coastline you can enjoy, suffer and fear really powerful and consistent waves as Pedra Blanca, Coxos, Supertubos, Nazaré …. But apart form these world class waves , Portugal's coastline is full of hidden an uncrowded beach breaks along of sandy white beaches to ve almost alone in the break point ; therefore from the far south of Sagres to Viana do Castelo you'll ind places almost virgin to discover and to still enjoy the essence of pure surfing. In our zone has became a really popular activity and the fact of being so close to Lisbon (the CAPITAL) transform some really good beach breaks in crowded and tensioned places where “glamour and image” are the most; and where every teenager (and not so teenagers) tries to live his own “California dream”.
