5) In fact, arguably the biggest wave in history was surfed here by Andrew Cotton

6) The quieter Portugal gets, the better the surf becomes…

7) The best time to surf is winter and early spring, long after the holidaymakers have gone home

8) Only three hours on a plane from London, Portugal is super close

9) And the choice of post-surf seafood stew is off the chain…

10) Best of all, from flights to food – it’s all pretty damn cheap!

11) It’s full of awesome surf hostels like this one
