Fatima-Nazare-Obidos – You are invited to explore the central-west part of Portugal. We will start in Fatima, one of Catholicism’s major shrines and a town visited by 6 million people every year. It is said that the Virgin Mary appeared to three children – Lúcia (10 years old), Francisco (9 years old) and Jacinta (7 years old) – every single month from May 13th, 1917 until October 13th, 1917. There were several prophetic messages and many stories shared with these three shepherd children (‘pastorinhos’). This is commonly known as the three secrets of Fatima.
At the sanctuary, there is a segment of the Berlin Wall, a tribute to ‘God’s part’ in the fall of communism. After leaving Fatima, we will ride west to Nazaré for a lunch break, embracing the cliffs and providing stunning views. In Nazaré we will also perceive the smell of grilled fish and realize that we are in a fishing village. Nazare is among the most picturesque coastal cities in Portugal. It has also become one of the most popular surfing destinations globally. In 2011, Garrett McNamara, an American professional big wave surfer, rode the biggest wave in the world, nearly 24m, here.
This tour continues throughout the historic town of Obidos. The town was taken from the Moorish army in 1148. Since that time, it has been part of the dowry of several queens of Portugal, which is why it is often called the Queen’s town. Nowadays Obidos still has a medieval town completely inside the old walls, with cobblestone streets and flower-bedecked houses. Obidos is famous for the Ginjinha, a sweet cherry liquor that you can taste. After that, you will have some free time on your own to explore the scenic town before going back to Lisbon. We are pretty sure that you will fall in love with this small town.
Finally, it is time to go back to Lisbon.
