Figueira da Foz opens to the Atlantic at the mouth of the Mondego, where the river meets the ocean in a wide bay of sand. A resort city since the nineteenth century, it has one of the longest seafronts of Portugal, with the beach of Claridade at its heart, the pine hills of the Serra da Boa Viagem behind, and the river, the salt pans and the rice fields of the Mondego all around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Figueira grew with the river trade and the fishing, and became a fashionable bathing resort in the age of the railways, when families came for the season to the seafront of Claridade. Today the city keeps the wide avenues and the architecture of that time, between the beach, the casino and the estuary \u2014 a place of holidays that is also a working city of the river and the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
