Description:
Our 10 Day, 9 Night Photography Tour will begin with a photo shoot of the icon Vasco da Gama bridge in Lisbon. From Lisbon we will continue our journey to the Algarve, a coastline with some of the most incredible rugged cliff formations, hidden coves, and blue water sceneries in all of the Iberian Peninsula. Imagine a place where golden cliffs meet azure waters, where cozy beaches give way to charming old towns, and every turn reveals a new, breathtaking vista – much of the Algarve remains relatively undiscovered and unspoiled. We will spend the next three nights in Lagos, a charming and centrally located town with narrow cobblestone streets and quaint old churches.
Nazaré is a lovely village in the Oeste region of Portugal. It became a world famous surf spot and entered the Guinness Book of Records due to its gigantic waves. Nazaré beach, with its mild climate and natural beauty, has one of the most ancient traditions connected to fishing in Portugal. This is the beach that retains the more colorful traditions, and it’s not uncommon to encounter fishmongers who still wear the traditional seven skirts. We are spending the next two nights in this lovely beach front town.
As we continue further north, we will encounter Aveiro, a vibrant city set along the coastal lagoon Ria de Aveiro. Aveiro is also known as the Venice of Portugal with its scenic waterways and colorful canal boats. The city itself provides many great photographic opportunities with its art nouveau buildings and ornate tile facades. Aveiro and its lagoon is the perfect place to get some unique images to add to your portfolio. Close to Aveiro is Costa Nova Beach located right on the Atlantic Ocean. This captivating area is famous for its vertical or horizontal striped cottages that line beach. They originally were used as storages space for local fishermen but have now been converted to charming living areas.
Porto, the second largest city in Portugal, lies on the banks of the Douro River and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The most characteristic views of the city, including the Ribeira district with its ancient houses, and the famous Dom Luis steel bridge can be seen from the low lying shores of the Douro. This active harbor creates many photographic possibilities which we will capture at the best light of the day. Part of our three night stay close to Porto encompasses long exposure seascape shots at the neighboring coastal areas.
During this 10- day fabulous photographic journey, we will seek out interesting nooks and crannies as well as the better known and more iconic sites. Our aim is to give you ample opportunity to capture the history and beauty of this amazing country.
