Field notes

Europe's only World Surfing Reserve and an obvious Lisbon-orbit alternative for nomads who want the Atlantic without the city. Rents have run up steeply since 2022 — closer to Lisbon prices now than the 'cheap surf town' of nomad lore. Same D8 visa as the rest of Portugal; same Schengen clock for tourist stays. Winter is genuinely the surf season here (north swell), and most of the nomad density follows it.
