Descrição
Há vários fatores que tornam este passeio imperdível. Fator um, corremos o sério risco de nos apaixonarmos por cada local diferente que visitarmos (não estamos a brincar, a zona Oeste é deslumbrante). Fator dois, inclui uma visita a uma das mais encantadoras vilas medievais do país. Fator três, passamos por dois locais sagrados deste país: Nazaré, o local sagrado dos surfistas (pelo tamanho das ondas do seu mar, que apela à religiosidade de todos), e que é, ao mesmo tempo, a mais tradicional vila piscatória portuguesa, e Fátima, onde encontramos o centro da fé católica e de peregrinação de todo o mundo. O Santuário de Fátima, que recebeu a visita do Papa Francisco, em 2017, por ocasião da celebração do centenário das aparições de Fátima, é um dos locais de visita obrigatória.
