Workation in Figueira da Foz: the essentials
At the mouth of the Mondego, 40 km west of Coimbra, Figueira da Foz grew up on sea bathing and still has one of Portugal's biggest casinos. Praia da Claridade is so wide that you walk several hundred metres to reach the water, Cabedelo on the south bank hosts international surf contests, and Buarcos at the north end keeps the feel of an old fishing quarter below the Serra da Boa Viagem. The city has about 46,000 residents and a small amount of coworking. Portuguese families fill it in July and August, and it goes much quieter after that. Parts of the centre look tired, and Porto Airport is about 125 km away.
