Update 18th June

After leaving Vila Nova da Milfontes on Sunday we headed up north and pitched on an acsi site at Nazarre. There were two sites here but we chose Vale Paraiso. It was an excellent site but some distance from a beach and although it said it was only 2km outside Nazare it was a little further than that. On Sunday evening we walked into Nazare, it was all downhill so getting back was a killer up the steep hill. We couldn't make our minds up about the town. It was definitely more of a Portuguese resort with old buildings along its sea front.
The next day we decided to leave and head for Figuera da Foz but before leaving we stocked up at Lidl down the road. We decided to take the coast road stopping to inspect the Orbitur site at Sao Pedro de Moel. This looked a good site but we could see no pool and assumed it didn't have one. We had a coffee on  the clifftops and then drove to Figuera da Foz. Again the weather was becoming dull and unsettled.
The Orbitur site at Figuera looked good so we booked in for the night and went for a walk towards the town. We were surprised to see how run down it looked, in all honesty we didn't make it right in to the town but we weren't impressed. We checked the weather for the next few days, if we continued north we were inevitably going to hit some unsettled weather, we then decided to have a closer look at the ACSI book and what it had to say about the site at Sao Pedro de Moel. The information was favourable and it did in fact have a pool and WIFI.
On Tuesday 18 th we turned around heading south for Sao Pedro. When we arrived we had a good look, it is probably the nicest Orbitur site we've visited and seemed sheltered from the wind. We booked in for two days but will probably stay longer. We'll visit the town later today and possibly post some pics.
