Nazaré

It can be said that Nazaré and the settlement of the promontory that gave rise to it (the Sítio), was born from the conditions and religious sentiment aroused by the miracle of Our Lady of Nazaré. Fishing and related arts were the main activities of the population for most of the 20th century. In turn, tourism developed until it became internationally known due to the undeniable beauty of its natural heritage. It is also important to mention the region's delicious cuisine, based on fresh fish and seafood, grilled over charcoal or cooked in a typical Nazarene stew, or the characteristic and traditional dried fish. The way of life of these people is also reflected in the handicrafts, with miniature boats or dolls dressed as Nazarenes.
