Wirehaired Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Just wondering if anyone has been to the silver coast in Portugal? from what I have seen it looks a nice area and maybe more quiet than the Algarve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindiboy Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 We did a wander that way one year, wild camped all the way, toilet dumps and water available as you go, very popular with the surfers, super area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartO Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 We were there a few weeks ago. Plenty of nice places to stay; we used mostly Aires which were generally very good. Low cost place to live and eat out compared with France and Spain. Only problem was what might be a tendency to have morning and evening fogs or mists when we stayed right on the coast, so it wasn't as nice as further inland. Maybe it was just the time we were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witzend Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 It's a really nice area to visit open and exposed to the wind with blowing sand from miles of empty beaches with large car parks to over nite we have traveled up thru in Febuary for several years now. Definitely quieter than the Algarve which is becoming over subscribed with motor homes since alot of people stopped visiting Moroc and now with the situation in Spain could be even worse this year.

Wirehaired Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 Thanks for that,its good to get first hand accounts from these places,i have never been to Portugal but from the images I have seen that area does indeed look great,i would think the climate is quite good at that time off year,not too hot. cheers don.

Bojitoes Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 We have visited the silver coast on a number of occasions, both with our motorhome and without. It is a lovely area to visit with places like Obidos, Peniche and Nazare having great beaches, friendly people and very competitive pricing. Would most certainly recommend a visit of several days to Lisbon, one of the nicest cities in Europe. Let me know if you decide to go and I will let you have some thoughts on places to go.

StuartO Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Nazare has an exclusion zone for MHs which seems to encompass the whole town. We got as far as the roundabout on the approach (where the embargo takes effect) and saw a handful of MHs parked on some land just beyond the roundabout but we then turned away and continued along the coast. This was three or four weeks ago; no idea how long thr ban has been in effect and how strictly they enforce it. We also visited Aveiro, which is lovely (the "Venice of portugal") but parking there was a challenge too. The old official MH parking alongside the river, near the motorway, has been closed by signs but we found space on a nearby street which wasn't prohibited. Aveiro is worth the effort of finding parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
