The City of Alcobaça.

Alcobaça (all-koh-bah-ssa) keeps the secrets of the treasures that French pirates buried in the shoreline centuries ago, and the memories of the first Portuguese colonizing expeditions, who assigned St. Bernard as the city's keeper.
Tranquility reigns at the Alcobaça sea coast. The beaches of Barra, Centro, Farol and Coqueiros spread all over the shoreline.

The city still keeps the simplicity of a small village, inhabited by corteous and friendly folk, where the atmosphere of tranquility prevails.

The church of St. Bernard on the city square. the historical buildings, the tree-laden streets with their nicely arranged housings make for a calm and fun stay.

Besides the historical features, the sun, and many miles of yet unexplored beaches, the city of Alcobaça is a gateway to the Abrolhos National Marine Park. The sea, the fen and the rivers make for a table with plenty of seafood, which is the main feature of the typical regional cuisine.

The tropical climate prevails for the whole of the year, and makes the ideal environment for a great variety of tropical fruits. The folcloric celebrations fill the streets with dance, music, fireworks and a joyful atmosphere.
