Location: Costa do Estoril - Lisbon area < Portugal
Ericeira is a fishing village located 45 km away from the North-West of Lisbon, 25 km away from Sintra and 10 km away from Mafra. Lined by the Atlantic Ocean the village is also constantly drenched by the solar light. The hospitality of its inhabitants, the harmony of the old village with its confined paved streets, its traditional houses, its special monuments, the sea, fishing, the kitchen, the views of the Atlantic and the multiplicity of cultural activities welcome its visitors. A special mention is done for the cream-colored sandy beaches washed by a sea rich in iodine and sheltered from the fresh breeze by natural rock-forming. A perfect place to relax or to practise recreational fishing, gliding, surfing or just to look at the sunset on the ocean. Ericeira already enjoys a nice international reputation as well as in the world of professional surfers and among simple amateurs.
