Why not? It is small, in the good days risks to be full, but it is there, the sun invites and, usually, is not dangerous. It never was my first idea in Ericeira, because... never happened, that's all. Of course, this is only one of the main options nearby, not the best, to be honest, but really close to town.

At the southern end of town, this is, maybe, its best bet combining distance and quality. It's not difficult to walk there from town, and you'd better do it, because the parking small. A great hotel where I've never been - Vila Galé, a known chain - dominates the beach.

It's nice to stroll in the old central quarter of Ericeira. The traditional houses are maintained and painted according to the traditional colours, and the comercial activities are discreet, respecting the harmony of the whole.

When the kings started to use Mafra's palace, in the 16th century, Ericeira became the port for royal use. If was from there that our last king left to exile. The city of Ericeira has grown, but the port seems to remain almost untouched. The (now) useless defenses are still present in the rocks.

This modest church from the XV century, has a rich interior, "impossible" to appreciate or photograph under the dimmed light of a dark winter day (yes, in Portugal, there are a couple of dark days each winter!). The cross at the entrance was built in the XVIII century.

Most of the beautiful corners of Ericeira are embellished by the old fountains, now useless, but still decorative, even under the rain. They were built in the decade of 1920, when Ericeira became an important summer destination, needing to supply water to a few more thousand dwellers.

Ericeira's public library is installed in the Cultural House Jaime Lobo e Silva, maybe the most beautiful building in Ericeira. With more than 17000 books and a multimedia section, it may be useful for those staying more than the few hours we always have in each visit.

A friend just told how much she liked Ericeira and I must say - it does look great! Thanks for the page! | guisthau Sun May 10, 2009 12:40 UTC
True. Every Sunday in Ericeira, even in the off season, you can experience a gathering of many Portuguese from Lisbon who just come to enjoy the spectacle of the sea - and the wonderful seafood - in Ericeira. |
