The Lisbon Coast is a treasure of sights and unparalleled experiences for the casual vacationer or the serious traveler. Within an hour's drive northwest of Lisbon you can reach the rocky Atlantic coast, the wooded slopes of Sintra, or the countryside dotted with villas and royal palaces. South of Lisbon you can enjoy the sandy beaches and fishing towns or explore the lagoons and river estuaries along the coast. Traders and invaders from the Phoenicians to the Spanish have left their mark in this region, and after Lisbon became the capital city in 1256 the Portuguese kings and nobles built summer palaces and villas in the surrounding countryside. Small fishing and farming communities still flourish where you will find lively fish markets that offer a huge variety of fresh seafood, shops and open markets selling local wines, cheese, rice, and this is where there are still tradional industries such as salt panning and marble quarries. The exceptionally clean water invites you to enjoy sandy beaches, surfing, fishing, and scuba diving. You'll also find splendid golf courses, horseback riding facilities, music and film festivals, bullfights, and country fairs where regional crafts like hand-painted pottery and baskets are displayed.
