Review & FAQ:
Occupying a beautiful stretch of golden sand on the Atlantic Coast, Povoa de Varzim is a modern beach town that has been attracting tourists since the 19th century. There are more than 5.5 miles of continuous coastline in the town, but the Avenida dos Banhos and Enseada da Lagoa are the two best beaches if you're looking to swim, relax on the sand, or visit restaurants, cafes, and bars. Surprisingly, there's not much to see in the town itself aside from the beautiful town hall and the town square, but a large bullfighting event takes place here every July. Povoa de Varzim
