The blue house very close to the Espinho beach around 30 kms from Porto. It is a very nice retreat for those that love the beach and the waves. Ideal for kids to learn surfin. There are great restaurants, wonderful Portuguese people. The equipment is what one needs, the kitchen has all necessities and the bathrooms are very well designed and functional.
The restaurants from standard tourism to exquisite grilled fish places and local Portuguese kitchen are for those that want to see the country as it is with many facettes. Beach life can last late and for those who want to go to bed very early, the place might not be ideal. Go for the see, the wind and the waves. Also note that Portugal is relative inexpensive.
