Summer is very slowly approaching its end, but it is better not to think about it yet and continue talking and enjoying beaches and spas. On the coast of Portugal, for example, there are several very beautiful beaches and right now thousands of tourists are enjoying them.
One of them is the Miramar beach, a town that is located in the outskirts of the city of Porto, south of the river Douro. Any postcard of the beaches of Portugal It includes it since it has a picturesque chapel on the same sand, the protagonist of an annual festival that attracts many people. Furthermore, this former fishing village is known for its community of intellectuals and artists, not only Portuguese but from the rest of the world as well.
The truth is that on the coast of the Miramar beach there are cafes, taverns, restaurants, all great places to enjoy the sea, the sun and the sand. Some of these artists have built their own summer houses, many are real mansions, so it is a place with a lot of style. If you are visiting Portugal this summer and you are in Porto Miramar it is only 10 kilometers away.
The chapel, impossible not to see it, take pictures of it and get to know it, is the Chapel of Senhora Pedra. It is a little chapel built in the seventeenth century, on a rock hit all the time by the waves, a little from the beach. In summer, for these days, we find Portuguese and Europeans in general, but if you go in winter the Miramar beach becomes the destination of surfers.
