Discover Ericeira with Local Fisherman Stories Sea and Tradition

Welcome at JBay – Introduction We begin at JBay, a small creative space in the center of Ericeira. Here you’ll meet your host and step into the story behind this experience. We’ll share who we are, how this project was born, and why the fishermen’s life still matters today. A simple and relaxed start, before we head out to explore.

Walk through Ericeira We leave JBay and walk through the center of Ericeira, following the path locals have always taken toward the sea. Narrow streets, simple details, and quiet corners reveal a town still connected to its fishing soul

Inside the Fishing Port At the port, everything becomes real. Surrounded by boats, nets, and the smell of the sea, your host will share stories from his life as a fisherman. You’ll discover how things used to be, how they are today, and what still survives of this world.

Final Stop – Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Boa Viagem The experience ends above the port, at the small chapel of Our Lady of a Good Voyage. For generations, fishermen have looked to this place before and after going to sea, asking for protection and giving thanks for a safe return. Here, your host will share a final reflection and say goodbye, closing the experience with a deeper connection to the sea and its people.
