Faits rapides: A small chapel with a striking white facade sits quietly along the old village streets, often overlooked by many visitors who focus on the seaside. It houses an intriguing wooden statue of Saint Sebastian that locals say was carved by a renowned artisan from the region.
Points forts: Look closely at the intricate azulejos tiles inside, each hand-painted with scenes from Saint Sebastian's life, offering a vivid peek into 17th-century Portuguese religious art. The chapel's quaint belfry rings only on special occasions, creating a rare and intimate acoustic experience.
