    My great great grandfather João António was the architect that made that clocktower you saw at 3:00 in figuera possible and many other buildings throughout figuera in the days of salazar, my family has lived there and coimbra for decades but further before that it was even more north in the days of nobility as hereditary barons with distant ties to the count of vila flor, i look at this video and it brings back such memories of the times i was there in person, although no longer am i in portugal through these videos it makes me feel as if im still there and it brings me joy, thank you!

    Nice video. I've been in Fig.da Foz several times. You should have made a trip over the bridge to the Praia do Cabedelo. There it' s very amazing with a lot of surfers and it can be very good for swimming (at low tide without strong swell of cause). Starting there you can make a nice walk down the beach to the hospital area where you can find a nice restaurant, which name I don't remember yet.
