Just over an hour from Coimbra lies Portugal's biggest dune, a sand giant that rises beside the Atlantic and can go unnoticed by those who don't know the area.
The Duna do Praião, located on the coast between Coimbra and the ocean, reaches an impressive 50 meters in height, making it the largest sand formation in the country.
This natural phenomenon can go unnoticed by visitors and even by local residents who are not familiar with the existence of this impressive geological structure.
The proximity to the Atlantic and the relatively close location to Coimbra make this dune a destination worth knowing, offering a unique natural spectacle in the Portuguese landscape.
