Praça Republica, Ericeira

❖Praça Republica, Ericeira, Portugal, 2010 [open in full screen]

This is main ceremonial square in this historic village. It is frequented by locals especially during the summer evenings to see and to be seen.

Of course you can also have a sip of a coffee and delicious pastry in one of the shops open late.

Younger generation may have a connection in three internet cafes on the square.

Being centrally located this plaça also accommodates main tourist office, in one of the heritage buildings.

It is providing all the necessary information and services for the visitors.

Ericeira is our favourite small town in Portugal so, of course we visited this spot again in 2017.
