What will you do?
Sanctuary of Fatima
For one hour, we will stop and tour the Sanctuary of Fatima. Fatima is now one of Catholicism's most important shrines, with 6 million visitors each year. From May 13th, 1917 through October 13th, 1917, the Virgin Mary is reported to have appeared to three children, Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta, every month.
Batalha Monastery
We'll visit the Batalha Monastery (just the church), which King Joo I constructed to honour the Virgin Mary for the Portuguese victory against the Spanish at the Battle of Aljubarrota in 1385. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is mostly Gothic, but there were significant Manueline improvements constructed in the 15th and 16th centuries. This is also the first pantheon of João I and his English bride, Philippa of Lancaster, to be built in Portugal.
Nazare
Nazare is a fishing village with many lovely locations to stop and enjoy the beauty of the ocean (the town center is full of sea-food restaurants and bars). Nazare is also one of the most scenic coastal cities, with a cliff-backed beach that has become one of the most popular surfing spots in Portugal. Garrett McNamara, a professional American big wave surfer, surfed the world's largest wave (almost 24 meters; 79 ft) here in 2011. You should unwind here for a bit before heading to a typical local eatery for lunch.
