Sonia

Welcome to Portugal! A country by the Atlantic Ocean, with a beautiful coastline, nice people, good food and many beautiful hidden things to see. Before describing the trip, I will start by describing myself first: I'm Sónia. I am a Portuguese that was born in France - but I don speak French :) Lived in Portugal almost all of my life and a couple of years in Iceland. I love to travel and get to know different cultures with locals. It was when I was abroad and while traveling alone that I discovered the love that I have for my beautiful country. The food, the culture, the heritage, the nature, EVERYTHING. And I wanted to show it all to my friends. And now I decided to show it to others.

Trip Itinerary
1

Lisbon

Day 1-2
I will pick you up at the airport and I will welcome you to the accommodation (that is 1h30 far from the capital city by car). During the first day we will take it easy, I will show you the surroundings and everything you need to know, and during this day you can rest and prepare for the second day.
2

Serras de Aire e Candeeiros Natural Park

Day 2-3
We will go on what I call usually call The Golden Circle. Is a round tour by car with a few stopovers: visiting a cave, viewpoints. Depends on the group. We can meet local artisans or go on a trail.
3

Nazaré

Day 3-4
Have you ever heard about the giant waves of Nazaré. Yes, it's not so far away from here but there is a season to see them. Anyways, We can go to the shore and enjoy the weather on this pituresque fisherman village.
4

Serras de Aire e Candeeiros Natural Park

Day 4-5
We will be going to make a small walk. Or if you want a bigger one. (It can differ within the group). Or if you want we can only go to a site in Natural Parque with stone art. It was where an art festival took place. Where street art meets rural areas. It's nice ;)
5

Batalha

Day 5-6
Visiting Batalha and Alcobaça Monasteries, included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage. Batalha and Alcobaça are small little towns but is definitely a must-do to visit the monasteries. Is also nice if we can see the market.
6

Rio Maior

Day 6-7
Visiting a local weekly traditional market is an experience that everybody should have. Street food, clothing animals, flowers, everything in the same place. Is not a flea market because is not second-hand items, but it looks the same. We will be also visiting the salt flats of Rio Maior.
