Praia do Guincho
Our first stop is Praia do Guincho. A popular beach that has the Blue Flag (an international award given annually since 1987 to beaches and marinas whose water meets high quality standards and is suitable for safe bathing). Fans of water sports will like this beach especially.
In addition, the beach was featured in the sixth series of the Bond movies, On Her Majesty's Secret Service. It's nice to note that the appearance of the beach has not changed since 1969.

Not for nothing this place is called "Devil's Mouth" - the waves hit the rocks with incredible force and create a very strong noise.

Restaurante Maria Pia
It's time for lunch. And we will spend it in the fish restaurant, which is located on the pier.
Casa das Histórias Paula Rego

Her husband, the painter Victor Villing (January 15, 1928-June 1, 1988), is also represented.

Ponto Final
We will go to another Portuguese restaurant for dinner. It's hard to say which is more important: the delicious fresh seafood or the peaceful silence and view of the river. Perhaps one is meaningless without the other.
