Azenhas do Mar

Azenhas do Mar - Spring 2009

The idyllic village of Azenhas do Mar, located between Praia das Macãs and Ericeira in the Sintra region, is so definitely worth a visit. Not only because of the excellent location facing the Atlantic Ocean, but also because many of the white houses are beautifully but dangerously close to the edge of a high cliff.

In the last century, many artists should have settled here to get inspiration ...

... and it's not hard to understand why ...

... It's an incredibly beautiful experience to see the waves from the Atlantic See crashing up the steep cliff sides.

Another attraction is the excellent restaurant of the same name as the town, which serves a wide selection of "everything good from the sea", which is said to have been captured by the owners themselves.

Once you get the menu card, you quickly focus on the three-digit euro prices ....
