Comporta, Portugal

Comporta is a relaxing beach town about an hour south of Lisbon. It has beautiful sandy beaches, a few small boutique hotels, great food, a relaxing chic vibe, and a few design stores. The area is where almost all the cork in the world comes from. There is also some great wine from this region. It was the most perfect way to begin our vacation.

The little pink stripe shack on the beach is a library ! and the RICE building is a home and clothing design shop right next to a winery...a block from the beach.
