If you decide to rent a serviced apartment or holiday letting in Espinho you will find yourself immersed in the rich history of this delightful, ancient fishing village with it’s enormous market, beautiful architecture and traditional bullfighting.

Take a stroll along the promenade and you will see the many fishing boats lined up on the beach waiting for their next trip out to sea. Enjoy a drink and a delicious bowl of Caldeirada in one of the cafes or restaurants that line the promenade and take in the glorious ocean views. The waters here provide ideal conditions for surfing and the Surf Shop in town offers plenty of equipment and sound advice for the wannabe surfer. Further along the promenade you will find a salt water swimming pool which is perfect for the little ones if the sea is too rough to swim in.

A walk through town allows you to view the beautiful Igreja de Matriz. This church is actually not that old, around 100 years, but has been built in traditional 8th century styling and is well worth a look. If you are lucky enough to experience the Feira de Espinho, the outdoor market, you can enjoy exploring all 3 streets that this market is spread over and find yourself some wonderful little curios and treasures as well as stocking up on the local produce. There are also several little shops in the town that sell handcrafted souvenirs as a reminder of your Espinho vacation.

An Espinho serviced residence or aparthotel also gives you convenient access to the traditional fishing village of Paramo where you can visit the remains of an ancient Iron Age village, the Castro d’Ovil. A truly historical experience. A short distance away, in Porto, you will find Santa Maria de Feira Castle. This imposing yet beautiful building is around 900 years old with turrets that were added on 300 years later. You can almost imagine a damsel in distress gazing from the tower window. Another place of interest that is worth a look is the Ingreja de Santo Ildefonso. This beautiful, 300 year old Baroque style church is adorned with delicately painted tilework and definitely worth a couple of snap shots.
