Location
About the surrounding area of Moradia MarinhasThe resort town of Esposende is approximately 3 km from the villa and is the best place for doing your food shops as well as for enjoying days out. Its unique location on the Costa Verde sees the Cávado River estuary bordering the beach, meaning a range of water sports are on offer in Esposende. Try surfing or paddleboarding on the ocean waves or take a kayak down the river to see the natural beauty of the area in all its glory.
Take a nature walk down towards the river estuary where you can bird watch or take advantage of the wonderful coastal views from viewing platforms along the trail. If you prefer keeping your feet on dry land and like more energetic activities, go horse riding or mountain biking through the Minho countryside.
Within Esposende town centre are a number of cultural attractions to explore. The Maritime Museum tells the story of the community's fishing heritage and Esposende Museum also features exhibitions detailing the town's links to the sea. Igreja Matriz de Esposende is well worth a visit too, with the church featuring wonderful Baroque details inside and out.
Just under a 30-minute drive will take you to the town of Barcelos that's famous for the national symbol of the cockerel and you'll see ceramic examples of them almost wherever you go. There's also a fascinating ceramics museum that will explain the legend behind these quirky town features. Admire the diverse sculptures that are dotted all around the museum and try your hand at making your own piece of pottery when you take part in a workshop.
