Lisboa Trip Overview
We start by visiting Óbidos, the Castro, an attractive and joyful medieval village surrounded by a great Wall, offering history about Portuguese queens, knights templar, Romans… After, in Nazaré, the traditional lifestyle of the fisherman and the location of the highest surfed waves in the world. A typical Portuguese religious coastal working community for what the sea gives… excellent fresh fish and one of the best beaches in the country. Follows a connection to Batalha. We continue in the context of religion and culture, plus a war, now in decisive grounds, where Portugal won conflicts against Spain, before building its own empire.
