I:REVERSIBLE - Street Art by YZ Yseult + Tamara Alves (2022)
Highlight • Monument
The pair created “I:REVERSIBLE”, a tribute to the ancestral and predominantly female practice of fish drying in Nazaré, which is in danger of disappearing. Giving it pride of place in a privileged part of the city, YZ developed a portrait of one the last guardians of this valuable knowledge, standing as a warning about the loss of tradition and leading us to think about what can and should be done to preserve it. In turn, Tamara Alves created a composition of a young female figure, representing the possibilities for the future and questioning how we can cherish this practice while creating a new narrative in which women are in full control of their decisions, choices and destinies.
Developed in the scope of Saison France-Portugal 2022 “(No) Borders” is a project that invites Portuguese and French artists to come together and create collaborative public art interventions in four coastal sister cities between Portugal and France: Nazaré – Capbreton & Porto – Bordeaux.”

Gateway to the world’s biggest waves
Highlight • Natural Monument
Over the past decade, interest in Nazaré as a surfing location has increased, particularly attracting the attention of giant wave surfers from around the world.
The first surfer to gain attention was Hugo Vau, who on January 17, 2008, rode a wave that many of those present that day consider to be the largest wave ever surfed in Nazaré. Known as "Big Mama", this wave is the largest ever recorded by the Portuguese Navy's ocean buoys. There is a video of Hugo Vau surfing it, but the poor quality of the images is cited as a reason for not awarding the Portuguese surfer a world record.
It was only in 2010, with the arrival of famous American big-wave surfer Garrett McNamara, that the world's attention was once again focused on Nazaré. Especially after McNamara won the Guinness World Record for the largest wave surfed in November 2011, after catching a 23.77 meter swell.
