Peaceful beach vacation
Casa Milu on the quiet Salgado Beach south of Nazare is the perfect place to spend a relaxing vacation. The lodging is a short walk downhill to an uncrowded beach--a great place to watch the sunset! For swimming the bay at Soa Martinho do Porto a few miles south seems better (although Milu did warn us that on windy days the fine sand gets in your face). We did not have a beach day even though we brought our swimming suits. We spent our time exploring the region (a rental car is almost a must since this location is a bit isolated) visiting Evora, Obidos, Coimbra, Tomar (for the last day of the Festival of the Trays!), and Fatima--and of course Nazare. After driving it was fun to relax on the balcony with drinks and enjoy the setting sun and the goats. For immediate needs the Triangulo Mini Market just over the hill is well stocked with more than just the essentials, a wide variety of fresh fruit, pastries, wine, and cheeses. Milu was an extremely gracious hostess who checked in with us regularly and gave us suggestions for things to do Highly recommend!
