WELCOME
TO THE MOST TYPICAL VILLAGE IN PORTUGAL
NAZARÉ
Hello!!!
Here you got all the links to the Routes, Restaurants, Parking Places, and some more information is going to be added during the year.
Route 2
See Praia do Norte, first passing through the Deer fence, related to the history of Nazaré, with a little luck you will be able to see the herd. Then a walk along the Nazaré waterfront, passing by the open-air dried fish museum and ending at the shelter harbor next to a lighthouse with a fantastic view.
Route 4
See the fantastic view it offers from the top of Monte de S. Bartolomeu, then head to Salgado beach, a smaller but good beach to visit. Take advantage of being in Famalicão and see the dinosaur footprints that are there. For this route it is better to take a car if you are actually going to Salgado beach.
OUTSIDE NAZARÉ
Route Alcobaça
See Alcobaça and its Monastery, pass by the garden of love and in between eat the local pastry. Head to Alfeizerão and try the unique moist sponge cake in the area. Next door is São Martinho do Porto where you can walk along the promenade or enjoy the beach in its bay. Finally, pass through Serra dos Mangues where you can still see some windmills and a privileged view.
Route Fátima
A longer but very productive route. You will pass by Porto de Mós Castle, you can enter, there is an associated cost. Continuing the journey, to the Batalha de Aljubarrota Interpretation Center and why not then stop in Batalha to see the Monastery. We also suggest the Sanctuary of Fátima and then the Castle of Ourém, drink the Ginja it is very good and fresh. We end the trip in Leiria, where we suggest at least the Castle, although Leiria has a lot to see and is also the capital of the District.
Route Óbidos
Lots to see on this route, starting off we go straight to Caldas da Rainha, more specifically to Parque D. Carlos I where you can also see the José Malhoa Museum. Caldas da Rainha is well known for its artists such as Bordalo Pinheiro, it is worth investigating. Next door we have Foz do Arelho beach and we continue on to Óbidos!Imagine a small village inside a wall, yes, you arrived Óbidos. Quite appealing with several events throughout the year, from the Chocolate Festival, to the medieval markets and Christmas Events. Try the Ginja, it's drunk in a chocolate cup.You can go for another walk near the sea, more specifically Baleal, don't miss the opportunity to go to the small island whose road crosses the sand.Finally, Bombarral, Jardim do Buddha Eden, a very pleasant space to visit, has an entrance fee, but it is worth it.
