Trancoso: Best Things to Do
SIGHTSEEING
One feature that makes Trancoso so charming and friendly is the Quadrado de Trancoso. It was a rough rectangle surrounded by ancient trees that protected brightly colored fishing houses. Painted in surprising pink, yellow and cobalt blue daffodils, all houses are built in the same style, tile and one-story high, some with stable doors that are often left open. Quadrado is for everyone and there are often children playing, soccer matches in progress, grazing animals or people walking from the city to the beach. It feels like a way of life that is lost in time.

DOWNTOWN
Trancoso itself stands on a cliff above two main beaches Praia dos Nativos and Praia dos Coqueiros. You reach them by walking through mangroves on a wooden path. Some beach bars and restaurants are placed along the sand but there is little development. At low tide, soccer matches begin and old fishing boats are left tilted. When the pedlar stepped on the sand, the sunbathers lay and relaxed and the odd plankers braided the waves. It's common to see horses running fast through the shallows, up the mountain or vice versa. You can also visit the Viewpoint Square where you can witness the beautiful scenery from the high ground.
