Detailed itinerary
1
Óbidos, a historical stone-walled medieval town, is our first stop. Its wall encircles the entire village! When we go inside, it is like going back in time, and then, as we explore the winding cobblestone streets with plenty of photo opportunities, we can imagine how life was many centuries ago. We will end with a beautiful view from the top.
2
Stage of the biggest waves in the world, Nazaré is much more that that. It´s a old fishing village and a great summer resort where thousands of people gather during their hollydays.
We will have the opportunity to see it all! We will walk to the lighthouse where we have the best view of those amazing waves, we will visit the fort where some of the surfboards used by the big wave surfers are displayed. Nazaré has already several word records from Garrett McNamara, Rodrigo Koxa, Nuno "Stru" Figueiredo and Maya Gabeira and many more to come. Did we mentions it has the best fish in Portugal?
