The Costa de Prata is located between Lisbon and Oporto, with the country's largest motorway (the A1) crossing it in the north-south direction is Central Portugal and its Silver Coast. 2 of the most appreciated aspects of the area are the mild temperatures and the white sandy beaches which offer the choice between practicing water sports and the calm life of the seaside.
The curative springs and the lush vegetation of secular forests have preserved all the rewards of their unspoilt nature. The convents, monasteries, castle, museums and churches witness the historic and artistic heritage of renowned universal value. As one of the most economically developed regions in the country, Costa de Prata is also home for famous traditional art treasures, such as its porcelain and crystal, as well as its gastronomy, strongly influenced by the sea and counterbalanced by its tasty Bairrada wines and mouth-watering sweets.
