Espinho Portugal

Originally a small fishing village boasting little more than a minor canning industry, the beach resort of Espinho now draws crowds to its golden beach and varied attractions, although the odd colourful narrow fishing boat can still be seen on the sands. Just over 10 miles south of Portugal’s second city, the majority of its visitors hail from the interior regions of the north. However its well-conceived amenities (note the numbered streets), comprising various superior hotels, decent restaurants aplenty (often serving the local, tasty fish stew – caldeirada) and a healthy smattering of lively bars, make it appealing to all. Its exposure to Atlantic breezes and its northern location on the Costa Verde mean that it is most popular in the high summer season when the water temperature is favourable, though other activities, such as surfing, make this an attractive place to visit at all times of the year not least because it is a stones throw away from the busy and beautiful city of Porto.
