Hidden gem
As a destination, Viana do Castelo has so many attractions and great waves, it’s a wonder that it is not better known. Perhaps the clue was divulged by a local who confided in me that she knew European families that have been visiting for years but often tell their friends they go elsewhere so they can keep this Portuguese haven free from crowds! Being so close to the Spanish border, a good day here will see many Spanish vistors make the trip south. The city provides great facilities for visiting surfers in motorhomes and plenty of foreign number plates were visible with many making the area their base for extended surfcations.
Hotel FeelViana is a unique SUP and watersports destination offering an exciting range of activities and laid back luxury. It has something for everyone and for families it’s easy to have that mix of sports, culture and R&R. For SUP it offers all water states in a compact area and makes for a great training base or relaxing break. A holiday here leaves you rested and healthy; my only complaint was that we only had one week because once you FeelViana you just want more! SUP
