Carrapateira - Portugal 2024 (from above)

The white houses of the Carrapateira village sprawl harmoniously along the foot of the hill, resisting the strong winds from the Costa Vicentina, while the steep and narrow streets pave the way for various adventures and experiences. Come visit the market and try the traditional products, discover the church and explore the fortress that protected this village from the attacks by Moroccan corsairs in the 17th century.
The Carrapateira Village grew on top of a hill, to the taste of the steep terrain, half walls with the coastal coast to the southwest, in the Municipality of Aljezur. Between cliffs and dunes, wild and wet stops, strong winds and a violent sea that whips slippery cliffs, the inhabitants of this village soon learned to adapt to the difficult natural conditions of the region.
Today, Carrapateira is more than a village of farmers and fishermen, simple people who love the land where they were born. It is also a village frequented by nature lovers, sports radicals, such as surfing and kitesurfing, that seek out the local beaches with excellent conditions to practice these modalities. This cross between visitors and residents impresses a "cosmopolitan" touch to the village that manifests itself with more visibility in Largo do Comércio.
