Eating in Guarda

Eating in Guarda

The gastronomy of Guarda is famous for its strong flavours, the so-called "comfort food", so typical of the inland regions of Portugal.

Allegro

The fourth movement of the Pastoral Symphony, "Allegro", is the part where Beethoven calls for the largest instrumentation in the entire piece. It depicts a violent thunderstorm with painstaking realism. The (Grand) Canyon of Nazaré is a place of inner storm that nevertheless creates world's most powerful and beautiful waves!

The (grand) Canyon

The (grand) Canyon

Nazaré is the finest example of the relentless power of Mother Nature. The giant wave surfed by Hawaiian surfer Garret McNamara on November 1st 2011 has changed the fate of this charming fishing town. Nowadays, the whole economy of Nazaré evolves around surf and the big waves. But why are the waves so incredibly big in Nazaré?
