Normally, Ericeira is a very calm village and stands as an escape from the crowded beaches of the Algarve, and the one on the Cascais Line, closer to Lisbon. Life in Ericeira is simple, as the city is not so big and also not the main tourist destination, but it presents a great quality due to the amazing beaches and traditional gastronomy.
