Embrace Winter's Spectacle on Portugal's Silver Coast: Praia do Norte and Forte de Sao Miguel
The breathtaking Silver Coast of Portugal offers a unique charm during winter, a spectacle dominated by the powerful waves of the Atlantic Ocean crashing against the rugged coastline. A spectacle you can witness at one place more than anywhere else - Praia do Norte.
Known as 'The Tram of Fear' by locals, Praia do Norte is famous for its giant waves, a result of the underwater Nazaré Canyon. These extraordinary waves have earned Nazaré a reputation as a world-class surfing destination, attracting thrill-seekers from around the globe.
Perched on a cliff above Praia do Norte is the iconic Forte de Sao Miguel Arcanjo. This 16th-century fortress not only offers stunning views of the beach and the powerful waves but also houses the Surfer's Wall, a tribute to those daring enough to ride Nazaré's giants.
