Carmen & Miguel’s place was exactly as described. Right on the beach in a quiet area of A Vera O Mar about a ten min drive to the centre of Povoa Do Varzim. (You can catch the metro here to Porto for €7 24hr ticket) The apartment was very modern and clean and the bed was comfy. There was a dolce gusto machine which was a great touch. Lots of parking too. There is a Lidl a short drive away and a few restaurants around. Miguel gave us a recommendation on the barracuda bar restaurant and the other way to the end of the beach bit/road (ten min walk) there is another restaurant which serves burgers, steaks and the very filling Portuguese dish Francesinha! Also worth nothing this place is cash only. A fantastic place. Will definitely be coming back.
