Vagueira again, gated/charge. but only just behind the Sea wall,handy for beach and Restaurants./ Figueira da Foz. Dedicated area in car park at the river exit to the sea. walk across the road and your in town.( FREE if you arrive late and leave early,legal. )
One more. Parque de Autocaravanas da Foz do Arelho . Stopped here,very nice, Sheltered sandy river inlet beach .
Nazare. Wave watching super. BUT..Check about even just parking,i have heard m/ho's are not welcome,strange,being as most of the wave riders come in PVC's like ours,etc. Will be next year before we will be there again,but great to watch if allowed..
I use Yr.no Weather A Norwegian weather site. Those Vikings managed to tell the weather all those years ago with NO WEATHER forecasts to rely on,so figure they have the drop now they have all the equipment as well.
