In the Middle

Figueira da Foz is the city known for being the middle of Portugal’s Atlantic coastline. Supposedly one of the reasons for the name is for the fig tree which boats tied up to along the mouth of the river.

This is a vacation area for the Portuguese. The beach and beach front restaurants are busy. In Portugal to stay in a hotel or eat in a restaurant one must have proof or “certificate” of the covid vaccination. This is the first place we have used our vaccine record.

The beaches are wide; the board walk is about a quarter of a mile long and at the end a wide beach lies ahead.

The long boardwalk to the beach also has boardwalks and a bike path that parallel the water.

The Atlantic Ocean water is beautiful and very chill.

A morning view of the many tents that line the beach.

Many homes have a beautiful tiled front.

Portuguese tile walks, this one is along the beach front.

The bull running arena still used for non bull-killing fights.

Along the boardwalk are blooming plants growing in the sand. I am have a new phone and have many unintentional photes of my feet this one is on purpose.
