- FÁTIMA
The name of Fátima has Moorish origin, corresponding to the name of one of the daughters of Muhammad, according to the legend of Fatima was a Moura princess, who was kidnapped during the Christian reconquest under the command of D. Afonso Henriques. Until the apparitions of 1917, Fatima was a completely unknown village, but from there, with the amount of pilgrims around the world and the construction of the Sanctuary, Fatima became known worldwide.
- SANTUÁRIO DE FÁTIMA (SANCTUARY OF FÁTIMA)

- MOSTEIRO DA BATALHA (BATTLE MONASTERY)
The Monastery of Santa Maria da Vitoria, also called Monastery of Batalha is arguably one of the most beautiful pieces of the Portuguese and European architecture.
This exceptional architectural ensemble resulted from the fulfillment of a promise made by King João I in gratitude for the victory in Aljubarrota, a battle fought on August 14, 1385, which secured the throne and guaranteed the independence of Portugal.
Nowadays, the Monastery of Batalha is considered a UNESCO World Heritage place.
- NAZARÉ
It was just a wave. But not some wave. A gigantic wave that surfaced in North Beach surfed by the world surf legend Garrett Mcnamara in 2011. This overwhelming wave, over 30 meters high, has forever changed the destination of this picturesque coastal city known as Nazaré. Or as surfers say: Naza!
But Nazaré is not just a breathtaking wave. In fact, Nazaré is a charming fishing town and a holiday resort full of color, where one feels the enormous importance of tradition. Nazaré grew in a very sustainable way over the years, doing justice to the common heritage and historical memory.

Within walls, we find a well-preserved castle and a labyrinth of streets and white houses that enchant those who walk there.
