Coimbrão Travel Guide: 31 reviews and 32 photos

Where is it?

Coimbrao is 150 Km North from Lisbon.
It is 6 Km from Coast.

The best way to get there by car is from Highway A8 till Marinha Grande, then Vieira de Leiria and after... Coimbrao.

It is a very good place to go throw a few days.
In the way, from Lisbon there are lots of places to visit, Obitos, Alcobaca, Nazare and S. Pedro de Moel Beach.
After, to North along the coat too, there is Figueira da Foz City Know by the Km of sand... aveiro and many more.
It is a good place to include in a car travel throw North Lisbon Cost.
It isn't to hot in summer and not too cold in winter, it have some humidity.

My best youth days

Coimbrao church

Coimbrao is a small village in Leiria District.
I know it very well as surrounds.
Since I know me I have been here for my holidays and weekends.
My kids are beginning to enjoy it as much as i did (and do).
It is a excellent place for cycling, swimming, running, walking... or just thinking.
My parents have an house here, with a small garden with a lot of fruit trees.
The village have a good typical restaurant, some coffee shop and mini market.

It is surrounded by pine tree woods, and with a lot of natural spots.

Coimbrao - Portugal - Europe

My parents house - the mushroom house...

Pros and Cons

A very nice looking beach area, even if the water does not cooperate! Beautiful photos of the Ervideira Lagoon too! Interesting to see the bulls used with the fishing boat - I saw the modern way with tractors instead!

Portugal seems a lot like Spain which probably makes a lot of sense but great pages :-)
