Portugal
|
| Welcome to Portugal and
the Hotel Meia Lua! Located in the town of Ovar, this charming central
hotel is one of the best start off points to discover the delights and
surprises of this dazzling Portuguese region.
Surrounded by lagoons and
saltines, Ovar is conveniently situated between the major cities of Porto
to the north and Aveiro to the south.
This eye-catching town has
eschewed the pace of modern life and remained true to its traditional past
with many of the women still choosing ancestral dress.
|
|
|
The major lure for visitors
and locals alike are the stunning beaches that surround this alluring town.
Extensive sand dunes lead to wooded areas and add to the pleasing natural
ambience.
Close to this coastal hotel
is the famous castle of Santa Maria da Feira, one of the best-preserved
fortresses in Portugal.
Worth visiting while you
are strolling this seductive hamlet are the town's two impressive old fountains
and the house-museum that celebrates the life of the very popular 19th
century Portuguese novelist Julio Dinis.
|
| The Ovar restaurant is only
open to group bookings and impresses with traditional Portuguese fare,
utilising the abundant, delicious seafood caught fresh everyday.
The kitchen staff will gladly prepare your dish of choice while there is
great vegetarian choice available too.
Enjoy an unforgettable meal
served by knowledgeable waiters with romantic views and delightful settings.
After your meal enjoy the comfort of the bar and sample the excellent cocktails
or refreshing natural fruit juices.

the area. In the centre, the pilgrimage chapel of Calvario is notable for
its strange life-size 18th century sculptures. Ask at reception and you
will doubtless be directed to the town's two impressive old fountains and
nearby house museum which celebrates the life and work of Júlio
Dinis, a 19th century Portuguese novelist. |
