Afternoon visit Nazare. Nazare, already next to the coast, another highly recommended option to visit is the city of Nazaré. For centuries, Nazaré was a traditional seaside town where fishermen taught their children to avoid the big waves that crashed on the nearby cliffs. Yet over the past eight years, those same waves have made this place an unusual destination for extreme surfers like McNamara, their fans, and the international companies that sponsor athletes.
The waves, the height of a 10-story building, are caused by an underwater canyon – 3 miles deep and 130 miles long – that ends abruptly just before the city’s shore.
