Enjoy an active cycling tour with amazing views along the Atlantic coastline, amazing lookouts over secluded sandy beaches, windmills and finally we will end up at Forte de São Miguel Arcanjo in Sítio.
This tour will bring a perfect mix of trails, paved roads and gravel tracks.The local guide will tell some stories about the history and present time of the area.

It is possible to visit the fortress which hosts a oceanic museum and a surfboard gallery.
From the fortress mainly in the autumn and wintertime and when the swell is right you might have a chance to spot the biggest waves of the world at Praia do Norte.

nazaré

Nazaré has one of the most ancient traditions connected to fishing in Portugal.The long sandy half-moon shaped beach, which is also the town’s sea front, is known for its grandeur and for the brightly-coloured awnings that decorate the white sandy beaches, contrasting with the blue of the water.
These days, Nazaré’s major attractions are the waves and surfing, thanks to the "Nazaré Canyon", a submarine geomorphological phenomenon that allows the formation of perfect giant waves.
It is the largest underwater canyon in Europe, about 170 kilometres along the coast, reaching a depth of 5,000 metres. 
The Hawaiian surfer Garrett McNamara received worldwide publicity when, in 2011, rode the biggest beach-breaking wave in the world, about 30 metres high, at Praia do Norte. He won the Billabong XXL Global BigWave Award and entered the Guinness Book of World Records. Like him, surfers from around the world visit Nazaré every year to venture into the sea. The beach also attracts sunbathers, who provide a great audience to appreciate the stunts of the young surfers.
