Comporta, Portugal

54

Comporta is a small coastal parish in Portugal’s Alentejo, set between the Sado estuary, pine forest, and Atlantic beaches. It is less a conventional city than a low-density seaside enclave, where the appeal is space, nature, and slow rhythm rather than urban density; a place where the road thins and the landscape takes over.
