Vila Praia de Âncora is popular as a family seaside resort, yet is still unspoilt. The fishing fleet is still working, the beaches are clean, safe and very varied, the restaurants are fantastic and the town itself really attractive. All the amenities you need are here, and everything is within walking distance. Beyond, though, is another world, of mountains and historic towns, quaint forgotten villages and the rugged National Park. And the cities of Oporto and Braga, and Vigo and Santiago in Spain, are easily reached by a new (and still empty) motorway network. All perfect for a family holiday, or a romantic getaway with quiet afternoons on an empty beach, or for touring a region that modern 'progress' has yet to reach.
