Just because everybody is talking about snow and being so cold i started missing the summer and the beach!
It’s easy for us Portuguese to miss it! Let’s see!
Located in southwestern Europe, Portugal is the westernmost country of mainland Europe and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and south and by Spain to the north and east. The Atlantic archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira are also part of Portugal.
Portugal is one of the warmest European countries, the annual temperature averages in mainland Portugal are 13 °C (55 °F) in the north and 18 °C (64 °F) in the south and it is over 20 °C (68°F) on the warmest spots, like south coast of Madeira island.
All that you can see in blue is the Ocean! Right… do we love our water or what??
There are amazing beaches around Lisbon! Sesimbra, Ericeira, Troia, Costa da Caparica, Guincho, Praia Grande, Comporta, Carvalhal ( my favorite and my favorite restaurant too ) and so on
This is the link to Carvalhal beach and the best restaurant you can go to near Lisbon
CASCAIS it’s only about 30minutes from Lisbon and my mom was born there. I love it!
GUINCHO is near Cascais and it’s a little wild..and beautiful . It’s great for an winter day with your lover or best friends!
SESIMBRA where i spent my summer vacation is also very close to Lisbon. 45 minutes or so.
ERICEIRA 50 km from Lisbon and there is a Surf championship every year there. Ericeira offers a lot more besides surfing to those interested in sport. Body-boarding, skim-boarding, windsurfing, fishing, diving, sailing, jet-skiing, water-skiing and beach-volley are some of the activities enjoyed at the beaches of the village.
COSTA DA CAPARICA just outside Lisbon 13km( some say 30 km ,i don’t really know) of beach!30 minutes from my house!

I miss it so much!
