Nazaré

Village of fishermen in Nazare

As we continue our day of enjoyment on our Tour Fátima Batalha Nazare and Obidos, we will arrive in the fishing village of Nazare, which is the most charismatic fishing community in Portugal. Here, we can see the fish being dried on every beach in the sun as well as the renowned ladies of the seven skirts, the fishermen's wives who proudly wear seven skirts at once, a distinctive tradition of this area.

The greatest waves in the world can be found in Nazare, Portugal, owing to the Nazare Canyon phenomenon. In 2013, American surfer McNamara set the world record when surfing a wave that was nearly 30 meters high, and throughout the year, we may view these incredible waves for ourselves.

Obidos

The medieval village of Óbidos is a beautiful place. It's close to the capital, and it's located on a high mountain, near the ocean. People in the village used to be very busy because it was important for them to be close to the government and the other important places in the country.

The town of Óbidos was conquered from the Moors by the first king of Portugal, Afonso Henriques, in 1148. Later, D. Dinis donated it to his wife, Queen Santa Isabel. From then until 1883, the town of Óbidos and the surrounding land always belonged to the queens of Portugal.

Holy Week is a time of celebration in Óbidos, and there are several events that happen during this time. One of these events is the Holy Week Festivities, in which the steps of the Via Sacra are recreated. In October, there is the Ancient Music Festival, and in March, there is the International Chocolate Festival. This event has an international competition, in which recipes are evaluated by an international jury of specialists.

Lisbon

Lisbon is a city that inspires curiosity and a desire to explore all that may be found in every neighborhood and on every street. It's a little yet really interesting city that is secure and welcoming. It's a great area to stay for a few days or as a base for seeing the nation. It is aged. It is current. Without a doubt, it always comes as a surprise.
