Figueira da Foz




 

Figueira da Foz is located at the mouth of the river Mondego, 40 km West of Coimbra, facing the Atlantic Ocean.

Figueira da Foz is a popular holiday resort town with a 16th Century fort. Its appeal is a two-mile long beach that is one of the prettiest in Europe.

 

The village is prosperous and attractive; a casino housed in a former Palace opens in the afternoon. Two miles away is the unspoiled fishing village of Buarcos.

The ocean, the river Mondego and the Boa Viagem mountains meet in a unique flourish of nature.
