You can go down towards Fort São Miguel Arcanjo and maybe you can see the giant waves depending on the time of year you visit.
Finally, step back in time to Óbidos, a medieval gem encased in fortified walls. Stroll through its cobblestone streets, try the traditional ‘ginjinha’ cherry liqueur and lose yourself in the charm of the town of Óbidos where time seems to have stopped.
The Shrine at Fátima is one of the most important landmarks in the Marian worship, drawing pilgrims from all over the world. The world renown of the Shrine increased during the papacy of John Paul II, a confessed devotee of Our Lady of Fátima, who travelled there in 1982 to give thanks for having survived an assassination attempt the year before. In 2000, on his third visit to the site, he announced the beatification of Jacinta and Francisco, to whom the Vatican attributed the miracle of a cure.
Memorial monument of the battle (batalha) of Aljubarrota and royal pantheon, whose construction began at the end of the 14th century with the patronage of D. João I, the Dominican Monastery of Batalha is the most significant building of Portuguese Gothic.
Nazaré is a village with a strong fishing tradition, and home to one of the most typical beaches in the central region of the country. The village we know today only existed in the 18th century, as until then, the entire lower part of the village was covered by the sea that reached it. Only the site existed, where today you can enjoy a magnificent view of the beach.
The mediaeval town of Óbidos is one of the most picturesque and well preserved in Portugal. Quite close to the capital and located on high ground near the Atlantic coast, Óbidos has had a strategic importance in the territory. It had already been settled prior to the Romans’ arrival in the Iberian Peninsula, and the town prospered after being chosen by the royal family. King Dinis offered it to his wife, Queen Isabel, in the 13th century, and it became part of Casa das Rainhas (Queens’ Estate), who improved and enriched it throughout the various dynasties. This is one of the main reasons for the high concentration of churches in this small place
