Field notes
South-bank surf town across the 25 de Abril bridge from Lisbon — 25 minutes by bus to Cais do Sodré on a good day. Roughly 25–30% cheaper than central Lisbon for similar fibre, and the beach is a 5-minute walk from most of the town. Same Portugal D8 DNV. Schengen. Summer brings a heavy domestic-tourism wave (July–August, the place doubles in population); shoulder months are the postcard window. Real surf, year-round.
Slightly cooler and breezier than Lisbon proper thanks to the Atlantic exposure — summers cap around 22–23°C rather than 25°C+. Wet winters (December–January, 4 mm/day) and reliably dry summers. Real surf year-round; July and August bring the heavy domestic-tourism wave.
