Nazaré
Nazaré is the most well-known in Portugal. From the international perspective, at least.
It's not for religious reasons, though. Right outside the church, in the ocean below, break some of the largest waves in the world.
How big? RED CODE at NAZARÉ. The largest wave ever recorded there was 35 meters (115 feet).
Eli 24.5 went to see it in person with his old college roommate. No, he didn't surf.
The forecasting system said "calm," which is the lowest of five levels. Still, 10 meter waves were breaking. This is what passes for calm here--20+ foot waves.
He's sending me pictures and I'll post them when they arrive.
