This enriching and varied journey is ideal for those who want to immerse themselves in the cultural and religious heritage of the country.
The experience begins in Fátima, one of the most important Catholic pilgrimage sites in the world. This sacred place, traditionally known as the site of the Marian apparitions of 1917, offers a serene and spiritual atmosphere. During the visit, you'll have the chance to explore the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, the Chapel of the Apparitions and other parts of the Sanctuary, along with free time for personal devotion.
The journey continues to Batalha, home to the majestic Monastery of Santa Maria da Vitória, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a masterpiece of Portuguese Gothic architecture. This monument, built in honor of the victory at the Battle of Aljubarrota, is considered one of the 7 Wonders of Portugal due to its historical significance and stunning design.
We then head to Nazaré, a picturesque fishing town known for its maritime traditions and record-breaking waves that attract surfers from all over the world.
