About
The village takes its name from the watermills that once stood here, and its houses cling to the cliff above a small beach and a tidal pool. It is one of the most photographed spots on the Portuguese coast and makes a peaceful break from the palaces.
Best time to go: Look from the road above the village, and swim in the ocean pool at low tide in summer.
