What to expect

1
Porton de Campo

Go through the old field gate and I felt the past engulf you. Walk through the gunboat and discover the imposing Bastion of St. Michael, silent witness to centuries of history. Let the mystique of the iconic Street of Sighs transport you back to another era, amid worn-out cobblestones and walls that still whisper secrets. Surround the Plaza Mayor as you admire the ancient monastery and the majestic silhouette of the lighthouse clipping against the sky. Each step through its cobblestone streets is a living chapter of the historical account of a unique place, where time seems to have stopped.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
