Fátima, Nazaré & Óbidos

 On this itinerary our first destination is O Sanctuary of Fátima, in the town of the same name and 130 km from Lisbon, is a place of devotion and pilgrimage, preserving the memory of the apparition of Our Lady to the three shepherd children in 1917. The neo-baroque basilica, surrounded by statues of saints, has a 65m high tower and a terrace twice the size of Saint Peter's, in Rome. Next, the destination is the preserved house of the shepherd children.

The next destination is Batalha Monastery, in the city of the same name. Built in 1386, the building is impressive. It has a beautiful church and the famous imperfect chapels, although they were not completed, are very beautiful! Next, let's get to know Praia da Nazareth, a fishing village that has grown and maintained its traditions, becoming even more famous for the giant waves of Praia do Norte. Here we will pass through the center of the village and also Sítio na Nazaré, at the top of the mountain, where we will have spectacular views of the city and the open sea, as well as the lighthouse where the giant waves can break with greater force between October and February.

We ended our tour by visiting the village of Óbidos, which is located inside a medieval castle. Just over 80 km from the center of Lisbon, this beautiful and unique village has plenty of reasons to be visited. It is currently inhabited by less than 100 people, but it is full of charming shops, cafes, restaurants serving typical food and even a spectacular bookstore inside an old church, which preserves the medieval appearance of its 12th century construction.
