Rice Museum Comporta

Just outside of Comporta Village. The Rice Museum was founded to exhibit the traditional rice production culture of the region which has played an important part in the history of Comporta right up to this present date and contributes to the lively cultural scene of the community and is located in the old rice mill dating back to 1952, when the estate first began to process rice.

Fishing

It is common knowledge that long before the Romans inhabited this part of the world, that the local population had fished both the estuary and Atlantic Ocean which has provided an array of fresh and salt water seafood and fish

Whether you are an active angler or make your living from the surrounding waters the determination, patience and skill is still today what it has always been and not a day passes without seeing either a fishing vessel with her captain and crew or a lone individual casting their nets akin to times of Jesus Christ

These hardened and courageous men, risk their lives on a daily basis and for centuries back have been the great providers of the delights that the ocean and estuary have served.

As you travel the beaches on either side of the peninsula you will also see a number of people fishing from the shore, with many a lunch and dinner being caught this way. In fact do not be surprised that the fish you intend to eat this evening was not caught in this way.
