Ericeira, Coastal town in Mafra, Portugal
Located 40 kilometers northwest of Lisbon, Ericeira extends along the Atlantic coast with white buildings and narrow cobblestone streets leading to the ocean.
The town served as the departure point for King Manuel II's exile in 1910, when local fishermen helped the royal family escape to Brazil by boat.
The town library functions as a central cultural hub, hosting art exhibitions, an annual surf film festival, and various community events throughout the year.
Restaurants near Praia dos Pescadores sell fresh fish directly from local fishermen, with many establishments opening early in the morning for the daily catch.
Ericeira holds the distinction of being Europe's first World Surfing Reserve, featuring multiple beaches with different wave patterns suitable for various skill levels.
