You also find a rich historical and architectural heritage around this área: the castle church built in the 14th century is an exemple of early gothic, simple, well-preserved and very photogenic. It's the theme of many photos and paintings. The cloister of S. Francis convent has lovely tiles of little angels which were left in the hands of unsupervised workers and the result is funny. Along 12 km of coast you'll find large beaches, tiny and isolated beaches, cliffs, wild spots, several small fishermen villages and lots of fun.

I enjoy travelling, gardening, painting and entertaining people I'm a vegetarian and a supporter of animal causes. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I'm very proud that my favourites beaches were awarded a Gold Quality 2016 by Quercus, which is a sure sign of great quality: Peralta, near our place, Areia Branca, and Areia Sul, all 3 large extents of the finest white sand, Porto Dinheiro (3,5 km), and finally, Valmitão (6 km), also a large beach, next to the former. I used to walk to Peralta in the morning, come home for lunch and then go to Porto das Barcas in the afternoon until sunset. That's how I kept fit and tanned, Going early to the beach allows you to see all the birds preparing to start a hard day's work and take extraordinary pictures.
