Alcobaça holds the secrets that the French pirates buried there, centuries ago, and the memories of the first Portuguese expeditions.
The city is very calm and pleasant with colonial houses built on streets full of trees. Besides offering sun and wonderful beaches, it is also the gate to Abrolhos National Marine Park.
The sea, the mangrove and the rivers provide a large variety of seafood, which are the basis of the local cuisine. Thanks to the tropical climate, Alcobaça offers plenty of different fruits, such as cashew, mango, pitanga, star fruit, passion fruit, pineapple, acerola, papaya, cajá and coconut, which are used as ingredients for juices, ice creams and sweeties.
