The Options Are Endless on a Holiday To Portugal’s Silver Coast

The Silver Coast of Portugal (locally known as the Costa de Prata), is an endless stretch of coastline running from Lisbon all the way up to Porto, and contains stunning scenery such as windswept beaches, craggy cliffs, lush green forests, and secluded fishing villages. Start your Silver Coast holiday by renting a holiday apartment in Lisbon and climb through the hilly barrios, stopping at quaint cafes or stylish restaurants for a bite of tasty, seasoned bacalhau (cod) or perhaps a pastel de nata (sweet custard tart). Head off to the Caramulo Mountains for a breath of fresh air, and take in the views of the beautiful mountain peaks, lush valleys, and rustic traditional dwellings built directly into the vibrant green hillsides. Or visit the mysterious town of Fatima, where it is claimed that the Virgin Mary appeared in a number of apparitions and gave forewarning messages to the town’s people, many of which have come true. There is a shrine here for the millions of pilgrims that visit the town each year. And no trip to the Silver Coast would be complete without a trip to Porto, where Portugal’s signature sweet, fortified wine is made. The options are truly endless when you rent holiday accommodation on Portugal’s Silver Coast.
