Paolo and Adrienne's Guidebook

The train station in SMP links you to almost everywhere. Search train schedule at www.cp.pt. Simply type in your departure town and destination to find times and costs. Very user friendly. If the station has no ticket booth simply board the train and pay the conductor on board.

We recommend Rui Taxi. His wife and son all drive taxi and make a great team. They have a mini van for larger groups and if one is not available another will be, they also live local. They offer a flat rate pick up or drop off to Lisboa airport. At the time we wrote this its approx. 100 Euro They are also familiar with the apartment, mention Paolo or Adrienne and the address. tel- 925 -280-301 email- taxirui.transfers@gmail.com

Car Rental is available in Caldas da Rainha, a 5 minute train journey and then a walk to the car rental office. Europecar and Guerin are operating at the time we wrote this section. If you are going to rent a car it may be wise to pre book as the local rentals are quite busy.

A good pair of walking shoes are recommended to take advantage of the many walking trails around SMP. Coastal walk are breathtaking and not to be missed.

Have a light jacket ready if you are walking the trails as most of the trails are in altitude so the wind may be stronger than down by the apartment.

Sao Martinho do Porto is very much a walkable town and a car is not required for local enjoyment and experience. A backpack is most handy when shopping at the local markets or just enjoying the day.
