Holiday homes on the Costa de Prata
The Costa de Prata is located in the north of
Lisbon and its name literally means the Silver Coast. This lovely region is not yet as touristy as the
Algarve or
the Lisbon Coast, but it has everything you need for a delightful holiday in
Portugal. The long, white beaches are particularly great for long walks, enjoying the stunning sunsets and the pleasant climate. In this area, you’ll find plenty of quaint little towns such as
Carvalhal Benfeito,
Sao Martinho do Porto and the well-known fishing village of
Nazaré. This is just a small selection of all there is to see and do. So quickly, make your choice from our holiday homes on the Costa de Prata. Via Micazu, you always rent directly from the owner, which is convenient and you get a better deal.
The hinterland of the Silver Coast is lovely and hilly, with meadows interchanged with forests and orchards. In the distance lie the blue-grey mountains of the Serra d’Aire e Caneeiros. Enjoy an
invigorating walk and be rewarded with wide views of your surroundings. There are also plenty of options for interesting day trips to the many churches, monasteries and other attractions in the region. One of the highlights is the ancient monastery of Alcobaça, the Mosteiro de Santa Maria. Don’t forget to pay a visit to some of the other delightful small towns in
Northern Portugal. You’ll come across a lively market or other event almost every day. Or why not point hop in the car and head south for a fantastic
city trip to Lisbon, which is just 90 minutes away.
