ESPOSENDE
A privilege of nature
The old fishermen’s town of Esposende may seem calm and quiet at a first, but a closer look will reveal many treasures for anyone passionate of water sports, hiking, mountain-biking and many other outdoors activities.
With over 14km of natural coastline, it is a particularly privileged area, with some of the best beaches in the North of Portugal. Foz do Cávado, Apúlia and Ofir provide a unique beauty to the region, where all the beaches are protected and part of the Northern Littoral National Park.
The gastronomy of Esposende is rich of a great maritime influence, with emphasis on the bass baked in the oven, mullet, flounder, lamprey and of course, fresh locally caught seafood, all watered down with local wines from the north of Portugal.
Esposende is also a strategic step of Camino de Santiago. All along the year, many hikers stop over in this town, located 45km north from Porto, on their way to the Spanish border and Santiago de Compostela.
