Our journey takes us north through the hilly landscape of the west coast until we reach Óbidos, known as "Village of Queens".
Entirely surrounded by walls and very well preserved. Here we start an extensive orientation tour. Here, the guests are invited to the famous cherry liqueur "Ginginha taste" too. Some free time.
Óbidos is located near the magnificent coastal scenery of Peniche.
Peniche is a small fishing town with about 30, 000 inhabitants, where the fishing industry is a very important activity. Several restaurants are specialized in fish and seafood.
Strange rock formations at the "Cabo Carvoeiro" can be admired. Short photo stop.
Along the way we enjoy this magnificent coastal scenery. Our journey takes us north through the hilly landscape of the west coast until we reach Mafra.
Mafra Convent has inspired several Portuguese writers as our Nobel Prize for Literature (1998) José Saramago. Visit to the imposing Mafra Convent, largest baroque building in Portugal.
Our last stop will be in the romantic village of Sintra.
*The Mafra Convent is partly closed on Tuesdays.
