We will visit the 17th-century Nossa Senhora da Nazare Church with splendid 18th-century tiles depicting Biblical scenes.

In 2011, surfer Garret McNamara changed the history of Nazare when he was towed into a 78-foot monster swell. At the time, it was the largest wave ever surfed. Every winter since this sleepy seaside town hosts some of the best surfers in the world in hopes of catching their own monster waves.
