Meeting Point
We are going to visit the Memória chapel where the myth of the village foundation took place
Have you heard about the biggest waves in the world? So its time to visit where they end!
With a mannerist style, the São Miguel Arcanjo Fort began to be built in 1577 by D. Sebastião. In 1644, King D. João IV, the Restorer, ordered its remodeling and enlargement. With a privileged location, near the Nazaré promontory, it is currently considered the main observation post of the giant waves at Praia do Norte, which turned Nazaré into a world surf reference. The Fort currently houses the Nazaré Interpretive Center, the Surfer Wall and several periodic expositive contents. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
We are going to enjoy fantastic views to the Atlantic ocean coastline and take very nice pictures from it
Explore the most charming medieval town of Óbidos with an experienced and knowledgeable guide which will take through the history and tales, the streets and alleys, the castle and the churches, the fine art and (last but not least) the sweet and authentic tastes of this ancient Portuguese land (the famous Ginjinha de Óbidos- on a chocolate cup!). Don’t miss out on the trendy bookstore Ler Devagar located on a former royal chapel, the 1300-year-old muslim castle, the old Moorish and Jewish quarters, the superb “pietá” of renaissance master Nicolau de Chanterene and the works of the celebrated XVII century Josefa de Óbidos, the first Portuguese female artist to get to the Louvre. Learn about how queens and princesses of Portugal had a major role on the history of this unique town (which for centuries they actually owned), notably Queen Leonor de Avis, remembered down the centuries as the “Most Perfect Queen”.
The main and most beautiful church of Óbidos
A former royal chappel that is now one of the coolest bookstores around
A 1300-year-old piece of history, once Muslim and then Christian, that is one of the highlights of the visit
