So, combining a visit to our friends in Ericeira, we headed to Portugal in October, hoping to catch the Big Waves.
We loved every single town and sight we visited in Portugal, but we particularly fell in love with low key Nazaré — apaixonámo-nos pela Nazaré! — this small, off the beaten path town that became famous with Garrett McNamara.

If you want to discover Portugal like we did, here are 5 places in Portugal off the beaten path.
