The town of Nazaré sets the departure for one relaxed, cultural and landscape touring. Destination to Alcobaça, we will visit its Monastery, classified World Heritage by UNESCO in 1989. The imposing monastery is one of the most impressive and finest examples of Cistercian architecture from across Europe. Despite it’s nearly 900 years, keeps intact all the dependencies and the medieval church, which is the largest in
Gothic style built in Portugal in the early middle ages.The route continues to Óbidos, but there is still time for a stop on the beach of São
Martinho do Porto, surrounded by its beautiful bay. Next comes the famous Lagoa de Óbidos, one of the most beautiful places on the west coast of Portugal which holds a fragile ecosystem where several species chose it as their preferred habitat. The Lagoa de Óbidos is considered the largest and most beautiful salt water lagoon in the country. Arriving at Óbidos we can immediately observe an ancient town built inside the
walls of a castle from the Middle Ages. In the visit to this village, we pass by the main traveled sites and monuments where we can enjoy the traditional “Ginjinha” of Óbidos.
