We stopped in the seaside town of Nazare for a couple of hours in the late afternoon.  This town is one of the most popular seaside resorts on the Silver Coast in Portugal.  The town consists of three neighbourhoods, Praia (along the beach), Sitio (an old village on top of a cliff) and Pederneira (another old village on a hilltop).   Praia and Sitio are linked by the Nazare Funicular.

Instead of going to the beach, I ended up walking in the old villages .

From the hillside, I took more photos overlooking the town.

If I had more time, I would have walked down to the beach.
