Tour Fátima Nazaré & óbidos

On this tour, the Sardine goes pilgrim, all the way to Fátima, a central city of Portugal, about 130km away from Lisbon, and one of the most important worship sites for catholics, with about 5 million visitors every year. After the visit to the Sanctuary of Fátima, where Our Lady made an apparition to the three shepherds in 1917, we swim all the way to Batalha to visit it’s imposing gothic-styled monastery and UNESCO’s world heritage. The visit to Batalha is optional – we can take you immediately from Fátima to Nazaré, for a lunch that can be composed of the freshest fish and seafood. This fishing village was one of the first important points for tourism in Portugal, during the previous century. Nowadays, it is known worldwide for its gigantic waves and surf records. Looking at Nazaré’s waves from Sítio (one of the highest points of the village), which is also an ancestral site of religious worship, is an outstanding show, that you cannot miss. Finally, we arrive in Óbidos, a romantic medieval village, famous for it’s tortuous streets, whitewashed houses, covered by flowers, ceramics and tiles – all this landscape within the walls of a magnificent 13th century castle.
