Join Estrela d'Alva Tours for a dynamic journey through Portugal’s emblematic landscapes, departing from Lisbon and heading north towards Porto. This private tour immerses travelers in a rich tapestry of history, culture, and coastal grandeur. The journey begins in Obidos, a walled medieval town that feels frozen in time, with narrow cobblestone streets and ancient crenellated walls. Visitors can walk through historic gateways, admire its charming houses painted in bright hues, and imagine centuries of local tales. Next stop is Nazare, a coastal fishing village famed for its towering waves that challenge even the most seasoned surfers. Here, the Atlantic’s raw power is on display, as colossal swells crash onto the golden sands, creating a spectacle of nature’s force. The tour concludes at Fatima, where pilgrims gather at the revered sanctuary since 1917, witnessing the spiritual significance of this sacred site. Throughout the trip, travelers are treated to stunning vistas of rolling hills, rugged coastlines, and historic architecture, all just a few hours from Lisbon.
