Climate

The Costa de Prata in central Portugal has a temperate Mediterranean climate. It is comparable to Toscane in Italy or the Provence in France, only with an additional cool Atlantic breeze. The average maximum temperature in summer lies between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius. It hardly ever freezes and when the sun breaks through, you immediately feel its intensity. Obviously, this is great beach weather but at the same time it is not too hot for activities such as biking and hiking.

In the table beneath you find the average minimum and maximum temperatures of the city of Óbidos which is near Quinta da Vida Serena. Therefore it gives you a good indication of our local temperatures.

Seawater temperature Costa de Prata.

The average sea water temperature shown in the table above is based on sea water temperatures from the beach of Sao Martinho do Porto which is closest to our Quinta. During high season the water temperature rises to a 21 degrees, which is a little bit cooler then temperatures in the Mediterranean Sea. However, during off season the seawater temperatures in central Portugal hardly every drop below 15 degrees which is actually a bit warmer than the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. 

Rainfall Costa de Prata.

Estramadura and Costa de Prata are situated in central Portugal, closed in by the dry south and the north which is more humid. This is pretty ideal if you love sunshine as well as nature.
