A former fishing village that’s developed into the surfing capital of Portugal (and Europe), Ericeira is about an hour’s drive northwest of Lisbon. It’s the first and only World Surfing Reserve in Europe, and has plenty of traditional seaside town charm. There’s also a wide variety of holiday rentals – here are the best, all bookable on Culture Trip.
