Povoa De Varzim

When we decided to go to Póvoa De Varzim I was expecting a little village on the outskirts of the beach . But it was bigger then just a little village. We were really surprised . We also went to the harbour where they were getting the nets ready and selling the fish then as we were walking we decided to go of the path a bit away from the ocean and there we found a whole street full of shops that surprised us a bit more . When we were getting hungry we picked up some food at the local mini preço and we called it a day . I was really satisfied with what we seen as it used to be a small village.

The blue tiles showing the history of Póvoa de Varzim witch is pretty spectacular 

The beach but we didn't like the sand as it was really 

coarse s

tones in there 

The many nice tall apartment buildings showing the 

growth of Póvoa de Varzim 

The statue showing the wealth of Póvoa de Varzim 

I was surprised there was a casino in Póvoa de 

Varzim we didn't get a chance to go inside but the 

outside was looking good and well tooken care of 

Statue showing the history of fishing 

The harbour selling the fish 

This is the big dam calming the water by the harbour 

for the boats to stay calm in the harbour and to keep 

the city safe 

They used these massive concrete blocks to calm the waters and when I say massive look 

At the size of those Blocks they are huge 

This is the little light house at the end of the dam 

There are 2 levels to the dam one level higher holding the big rocks and boulders of concrete 

This is a crane boat to take out smaller boats or other lifting matters 

A magnificent view of Póvoa de Varzim from what started so small and now so big 

This is a view of part of the shopping street and the 

restaurants 

The shopping street 

The harbour with calm water and in the background 

to the left they are fixing the holes in the nets and 

cleaning them

The fishing boats bringing out the nets

We decided to feed the seagulls a bit 

The statue in the round about close to the casino we

do not know what it stands for but looks nice 

We also have a big passion for palm trees
