Our Wakes: 2015
This little harbor is located 100 km north of Lisbon. Nazaré has much to offer as it is
a historical site, a seaside resort and a worldwide known spot for surfing as the
biggest ever surfed wave in the world has been in Nazaré on the 11 December
2014 with a wave estimated to be 30 meters high. This village is also a well-known fishing
place and the city preserves the history of the fishing community by having on the beach some
ancient boats and women who dry there fish for the tourist.
Nazaré is a city separated in two with the highest part situated 100 meter high on the cliffs and
connected to the lower part by a funicular. On the higher part you have several historical buildings
such as a fort, a church and of course a unique view on the ocean and the lower part of the city.
The lower part of the city is essentially a seaside place but if you walk inside the town you will
walk in small streets were people have a little barbecue on the street as well as hanging their
clothes to dry.
