What do you see on a road trip to NazarΓ© ? | World record surf! | Travel Vlog

Image
If you go to the town of NazarΓ© in Portugal, what can you expect to see? πŸ–️ Come for a road trip with me and find out! πŸŒžπŸŒŠπŸ‘™πŸšπŸ¬⛵πŸ¦πŸŒ΄πŸŒ… I owe huge thanks to Daniel for organising the trip, and for Daniel, Clau, and Siobhan for making it fun. πŸ’Œ Oh, and something I forgot to mention in the video is the fact that there are people with communications equipment on the beach. They tell the people on the jet skis when the next big wave is coming, and where it is. The jet ski will then drag the surfer out to the big wave and release them to try to ride it. I hope you enjoy this video. Please leave me a comment and say hi! I'd love to hear from you. Charles and I will be exploring southern Turkey from now until mid February 2023. Please comment or connect on our socials if you'd like to meet up. xox Penelope Let's Connect on travel: 🎬 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN4QAEZDtR0tYtRRHw71oag?sub_confirmation=1 🎫 https://www.travelfunmusic.com/ πŸ‘ https://www.facebook.com

The waters of Caldas de Monchique have been famous since Roman times because of people's beliefs about their healing properties.... and for love! πŸ’– This special place was often used as a special holiday retreat for Portuguese royalty
