Home to a UNESCO-listed medieval monastery built at the confluence of the Alcoa and Baca rivers, Alcobaca sits in the Leiria district with a moderate central-Portugal Atlantic climate, wetter than Lisbon but drier than the north. The two small rivers that gave the town its name can rise after sustained winter rain. IPMA’s central-region radar covers this part of the coast.
