This is the central region of Portugal. The beautiful Atlantic coastline provides many opportunities for a stunning sunset in the ocean, hence the name Silver Coast representing  the sun\u2019s reflections in the sea.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>This is the Silver coast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The region\u2019s exact boundaries is a  subject for discussion \u2013 you will see many different definitions depending on whom you ask. Some say that even the central parts by the Spanish border should be included  while others believe that the Silver Coast refers only to the parts near the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-container-3 wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:9%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Path-6396.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39700\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:91%\">\n<p><em>We believe that the coastline between Santa Cruz, in the south, up to S\u00e3o Pedro de Moel, is the best coastline in Portugal and perhaps in all of southern Europe!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The coastline is about 240 km long, from Santa Cruz \u2013 just south of Peniche \u2013 in the south up to Espinho \u2013 just south of Porto \u2013 in the north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Portugal Agent focuses on the southern part of the Silver Coast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Portugal Agent  is specialised in the southern parts of the Silver Coast. From Santa Cruz, in the south, to  S\u00e3o Pedro de Moel, in the north, with an extra focus on the coastal strip between the three small towns of <strong>Nazar\u00e9,<\/strong> <strong>S\u00e3o Martinho do Porto<\/strong> and <strong>Foz do Arelho<\/strong>, as well as the dramatic coast around <strong>Santa Cruz<\/strong> in the south. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also work with the areas and larger cities up to 30 min inland from the coastline. Places like: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Torres Vedras <\/strong>&#8211; a genuine Portuguese city with 87 000 inhabitants and about 20 min from Santa Cruz. The town is  surrounded by hilly landscape with many vineyards<\/li><li><strong>\u00d3bidos<\/strong> &#8211; a town and castle dating from the times of the Roman empire,  20 &#8211; 30 min inland of Peniche and Foz do Arelho. Wander around the cobbled lanes with whitewashed cottages. Or climb up on the large castle wall &#8211; fabulous views of the historical centre and the surrounding countryside. <\/li><li><strong>Caldas da Rainha <\/strong>&#8211; a city with 51.000 inhabitants and about 15 min from Foz do Arelho, 20 min from S\u00e3o Martinho do Porto.  Known for the hot springs and its pottery, particularly ceramic cabbage bowls. Caldas da Rainha actually means &#8220;the queen\u00b4s thermal baths&#8221;. <\/li><li><strong>Alcoba\u00e7a<\/strong> &#8211; with a population of 58.000 and about 15 min from Nazar\u00e9. The fabulous monastery in the center of the town right by the rivers Alcoa and Ba\u00e7a (therefore the name Alcoba\u00e7a) is on the UNESCO world heritage list. Worth a visit! <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><br>We believe that the coastline between Santa Cruz in the south up to S\u00e3o Pedro de Moel is the best coastline in Portugal and perhaps in all of southern Europe!

It is only during a couple of summer months that the beaches and hotels will be busy, however never as crowded as for example the French riviera. During the rest of the year the area is  \u201dAuthentic Portugal\u201d. No closed restaurants during the  winter and no charter hotels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, a lot of culture, fantastic green nature and many different sports opportunities all year round. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Ocean sunset &#8211; also inland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Silver coast is well know for the fabulous ocean sunset. Many homes in the area offer a sea view as the entire coastal strip is located on a slope in which the upper region is more than 100 meters above the sea level. You often see the Atlantic ocean even if you do not live right on the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Endless beaches, hilly terrain, vineyards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vast beaches (you will always find a private beach if you like), hilly terrain with expansive views in many locations. Hiking trails, forests, sand dunes, agricultural landscape. And past the coastal strip: vineyards and traditional agriculture with crops and livestock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Many activities &#8211; surf, golf, MTB, hike&#8230;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fantastic in every way! Surfing is world class. Peniche has one of two stops of the World Cup surfing, which says a lot about the quality of the surfing waves there. Here, you will also find everything that a beginner as well as the experienced surfers need with regards to shops, surf schools, rentals etc, always surf waves! Lately, Nazar\u00e9 has become famous for the biggest surf waves in the world \u2013 they typically come during the winter. A most spectacular view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>World class golfing, mountain biking, racing biking, hiking, <a href=\"https:\/\/portugalagent.com\/en\/best-jogging-and-hiking-in-nazare\/\">jogging in the amazing scenery and the fresh ocean air,<\/a> to mention a few of the things that you can do on the Silver Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>On the World Heritage List<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The region has four attractions included on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites: the <strong>Monastery of Alcoba\u00e7a<\/strong>, the <strong>Monastery of Batalha<\/strong>, The <strong>Convent of Christ of Tomar<\/strong> and the <strong>University of Coimbra<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Highest mountain and ski resort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the World Heritage Sites, there are a number of other things to explore around the area.  In the eastern part of the area, near the Spanish border, you will find Portugal\u2019s single ski resort located in the stunning National Park, Serra da Estrela. Here, one also finds the mainland\u2019s highest mountain with its 1991 meters above sea level. Portugal\u2019s highest mountain is located on the Azores, Pico, 2,351 meters above sea level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>National park great for hiking and MTB <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>About 35 km north-east of Nazar\u00e9, is a large national park \u201cParque Natural das Serras de Aire e Candeeiros\u201d with beautiful scenery in the mountains, hiking trails and just north of there, in Pia do Urso, amazing mountain bike trails \u2013 265 km of signed trails from green (easy) to black (experienced bikers only). Pia do Urso also offers the only footpath for the visually impaired throughout Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Silver Coast, or Costa da Prata in Portuguese, is located between Lisbon in the south and Porto in the north.
