  • In 1971 I was taken at night to a terrific place for military training. I had to descend in slide, from a steep hill to what seemed to be a beach. 36 years later I went back to that place, about 10 km south of Ericeira, and... terrific? My God! How subjective things can be. It's a common empty beach, with a calm small river and... the hills of memory!

  • Eating seafood is "mandatory" in Ericeira, and you may stroll on the cliffs, watching the holes made in the rocks to keep the lobsters (now empty, I think). Most people use these cliffs to lay in the sun, catching the strong iodine.

  • Medieval symbol of justice, most of the small towns with discreet history are proud of their pillory. Ericeira is no exception, and in 1924 reconstructed it, with the original stones buried in place when Ericeira was lowered from "vila" to "freguesia". Dated from the XIV century it still keeps the rings were the convicted were tied.

     A friend just told how much she liked Ericeira and I must say - it does look great! Thanks for the page!

     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.
