Flanked by lush green
pine forests, Esposende is an old fishing village with
some admirable old buildings and airy town squares.
Boasting an idyllic setting on the estuary of the River
Cavado, approximately 50 kms. north of Oporto, at the
time of the Portuguese Maritime Discoveries, Esposende
was an important fishing and sea port.
Nowadays, is a popular resort town due to the area's
excellent bathing conditions. The coastal strip
stretching from Esposende to Ofir and Fao has been
classified as a protected landscape area and is
considered to be one of the most beautiful stretches of
Portugal´s northern coastline. Various shops and a good
choice of restaurants and cafes can be found on the
coastal road.
