Atlantic peninsula 90 minutes north of Lisbon — one of Europe's most consistent surf coasts (Supertubos hosts a WSL Championship Tour stop). Baleal (the connected island with the prime surf access) is where most surf-nomads base; the old town is the fishing-port working core. Same Portugal D8 DNV (€3,200/mo, 1-year + path to 5-year residency); Schengen. Cooler and windier than the Algarve year-round.
