Capelas little harbour

At Capelas village, try to follow the signs (almost invisible) that says "porto" or ask for "porto". Mainly, you have to go to the center of the village and, after makind the half-round of the main roundabout, some 100 meters after exiting the roundabout, turn right, following the little "porto" sign.
You will got a very narrow streed that goes following down the cliff down to the little harbour. Only little cars can pass that street, so, if you have a large car, it's better leave the car upper in the street and walk down the little harbour.
In that harbour you will get some peace and quiet ambiance near the seaside. In August, surelly, you will see lots of kids divin from hte rock into the sea.
