January 24, 2022 Darleen Reid

Nazare, named after the Biblical “Nazareth” in the 4th century, is Portugal’s most famous fishing village, now becoming important as well in the world of big wave, tow-in surfing. The tallest wave ever recorded being surfed – by a Hawaiian big-wave surfer – was off Nazare.

Beautiful old church from the glory days of Portugal. Pay 1 Euro and visit the old chappel with corridir stil plastered with the Original azulejos. Don't mis it when you go to Nazaré

The market is vibrant and delightful. It's full of locally produced fruit, veg, and food of all types. There are some good cafes around the edge. There's a lovely atmosphere and it's a very friendly place.

Ermida da Memoria

Reviewed By AAR8385 - Toronto, Canada

A very small chapel that is carved into a ledge but the history behind it is big! Apparently, the stone Madonna found down the stairs is said to have stone coming from around 2000 years ago and that the way the stone is crafted is not indigenous to Europe but rather the Middle East. This is the archaeology behind it. However, Catholics believe that the Madonna was carved by St. Joseph (Mary's husband) and then brought to Europe by rulers.
