Hey guys, welcome to Nazaré, the big wave capital of the world
0:17
This is one of our last stops in our tour around Portugal and we couldn't miss the opportunity
0:21
to experience some epic waves and check out one of the coolest beach towns in all of Portugal
0:30
So there are two famous beaches in Nazare
0:39
There's Nazare Beach, which is where we are right now. And there's also Praia do Norte, which is on the other side of those cliffs
0:46
And Praia do Norte, or North Beach, is the most famous one in Nazare. That's where all the big wave surfers go to test their skills on some of the biggest waves
0:53
in the world. We checked the forecast. The waves should be pretty big today
0:57
We're hoping for the best. fingers and toes crossed. Let's see if we're lucky today
1:09
There are basically three ways that you can get to North Beach. It's in a neighborhood called Sitio
1:14
and you can take an Uber, you can walk, and you can also go in a funicular. But the funicular is
1:19
four euros per person and if you convert that to pastel de natas, that equals three pastel de natas
1:24
per person so if you walk all the way up that hill it's like 15 minutes uphill
1:28
then you can have three pastel venatas when you get there. Win-win
1:46
Halfway there's a swing where you can take a break and swing
2:24
We made it, and the waves are big, and they're messy, and there's like six or seven surfers out
2:42
there like trying to catch the waves, and I'll try my best to get like footage with like the big
2:46
camera, but this is just mind-blowing to see that there's people in the water, so like they have to
2:52
go in with a jet ski. Like they can't even like paddle the waves on their own
2:56
So they're each surfer has a jet ski and they just like crash
3:00
against the waves. And then he starts surfing and sometimes they fall and you
3:04
like see him. It just I was in tears yesterday the first time we saw this because it is so mind blowing to see what these guys are doing Like I don understand how it humanly possible to do this
3:18
It is incredible to see the biggest wave register here. It was like 86 feet or something like that
3:38
These are like 15. Yesterday there were like 20
3:47
I do not understand how a wave can get bigger than this
3:52
and someone like surfs it. I don't get it. It's amazing. We're going to fly the drone to show you guys
3:58
and show you more with the big camera. Enjoy Praia do Nordli
4:08
Without my love for the ocean
4:26
I would be long gone by now It's some kind of devotion
4:38
That brings me down That without my love for the ocean
4:50
I would be no one No one I really hope I got some decent footage with the drone
5:11
It's not easy. They're on the waves for like four or five seconds, and I'm not a great drone pilot yet
5:16
We'll see how the footage looks. Otherwise, we'll come back tomorrow, which we're not complaining about
5:19
But for now, it's time to explore the rest of Nazare. You ready? No
5:24
Time to go. Now. Now! This is one of the coolest things that you can witness in your life
5:31
And we're not even surfers and we're just mesmerized by this. And we could spend the whole day here
5:37
You have to come here when it's like the wave season. I think October to April
5:42
Right now it's mid-October and the waves are like pretty decent, but like... This is crazy
5:50
These guys are crazy. What is that? What do you want
6:01
These wines, the wines of love, the more we eat, the more we eat, the more we eat, the more we eat, the more we eat
6:09
The wine of love. The four of the eggs. Thank you. The four of the eggs
6:21
How are you One to That is with chocolate Yes
6:31
Take it. Thank you. Do you want to try this? The corn
6:41
I like corn. Thank you. It's rich. This one here, I'll eat this
7:18
So we just picked up some snacks to take with us to Lisbon where we're gonna end our trip
7:29
We have some bolinhos de amendoim, some kind of like nut wafer and also roasted corn kernels that are like this big and very delicious
7:36
We tried like a couple. I don't know if you guys noticed but she was wearing like traditional clothes
7:40
This is something that we didn't know about Nata Day. Obviously it has a reputation as like the surf capital
7:44
but it used to be a fishing village for like centuries and like the women still wear like traditional clothes. It's been very fun to see. Definitely bonus points for Nazadeh
7:51
Yeah, it's cute. It's very cute. We picked up lunch. It's time to grab lunch with a view
8:14
If there should ever be a storm or a pouring rain We'll look out through the window pane
8:25
Where the sun will shine again This is one of the most beautiful places where we've ever had a picnic
8:35
Check out the view, we're seeing the surfers, like, trying to catch the waves and it's like, they're learning how to surf, it's really cool Wait
8:42
That is your lunch view. Come on. What do you think? Best lunch view we've ever had. We're staying down there somewhere. Is it sauce? I think
9:00
there's people like learning how to surf and you can like hear them yell when they catch a wave. It's like yeah! Next time that'll be us
9:08
Yeah, when it's warm. Or when it's warm. Or when it's warm
9:12
Or when we're at last wimps. And when we have more money to spend on these things. We're now at the old Nazarei fortress that turned into a lighthouse
9:24
And actually right behind us here is Raya del Norte, North Beach. And it's weird
9:27
Like, we've never been here before, obviously. But it feels like a very familiar. Because I've seen all the big wave competitions
9:32
Like most people stand just on the edge of this fortress like slash lighthouse And just like watch these guys like tackling epic waves It really really cool to be here There like a small museum on the inside too where they have like the old surfboards that people use to surf these like monster wave competitions and they just like six feet of foam
9:46
going into like 85 foot waves it's really just never ceases to blow my mind it's crazy that's
9:51
just cool to sit here and like watch the surf come like rolling in and listening to it crashing in the waves
10:04
Oh my gosh, you guys are so cute
10:24
We're back in our side of town. I did not slip. That's a win
10:30
It was close a couple of times. It was close a couple times. Go in
10:40
It is my birthday door. But I don't fit. You always have that problem
10:45
Well, especially here. Can you imagine coming home drunk? No, no, no, no
10:53
As we mentioned earlier in the video, that neighborhood where Praia do Norte is, is called Sitio
10:59
and now we're back in Nazare, which is where we're staying and this town is so cute
11:04
it's like they have all these beautiful alleyways and all the houses have beautiful tile decorations above the door
11:10
the ladies are dressed in like traditional clothing that actually reminds us a lot of northern Romania
11:15
and it's really cool to see there's also a lot of cool restaurants and shops
11:19
and a beautiful promenade right next to the beach which is perfect to watch the sunset
11:29
Last drone footage of Nazaré
11:50
Seagulls were not happy. When are they? When are they happy? If you guys watch our videos you might remember that in our previous video or two videos ago
12:27
we said that we fell in love with Tavira and we did but I think Nazaret is the place that we're
12:32
to come back to even if it's cold during the surf season i don't care this was so beautiful and so
12:37
priceless to see these guys like riding these waves is incredible we're definitely coming back
