Visiting Caparica
Visiting CaparicaFor more than 50 years, Caparica was, for me, no more than an ugly village by the longest beach around Lisbon.
​This year I found Capuchos, and noticed that there’s something more than the “Costa” in Caparica. It’s never too late to learn.
​Capuchos convent
In the cliffs overlooking “Costa da Caparica” beach, with great sights, there’s a convent dating from the 16th century, now used by the municipality to cultural and social events.
Restored in 1952, it received a carved altarpiece and new tiles representing St. Anthony’s sermons.
​It is surrounded by a small but nice and refreshing garden.

Exhibitions in Capuchos convent
Exhibitions in Capuchos conventIt is not an outstanding destination, nor a must see, but, if you need a break in a sunny day on the beach, why not a small detour to this convent?
We were there with rain, and wished to go back under a bright sun, when the sights will be different, of course, and, inside, with any kind of weather, maybe you’ll find an interesting exhibition, as we did.
​Well, we were invited to the opening…
