DAY 5 🇵🇹 | Fátima • Batalha • Alcobaça • Nazaré • Lisbon
After departing Fátima in the morning, we continued our pilgrimage through Portugal's rich history, faith, and stunning landscapes.
We began with a visit to the Monastery of Batalha, admiring its remarkable Gothic architecture and centuries of history. We then explored the beautiful Royal Monastery of Santa Maria de Alcobaça, one of Portugal's most treasured UNESCO World Heritage sites. On our way to the bus we were serenaded by a fadista, telling us goodbye.
The day continued to the charming coastal town of Nazaré, where we enjoyed breathtaking Atlantic Ocean views and visited the church and celebrated Mass which held a statue of the Virgin Mary said to have been carved by Saint Joseph overlooking the coastline. The dramatic cliffs, crashing waves, and endless blue horizons made for unforgettable moments.
With hearts and cameras full of memories, we continued on to Lisbon, ready to experience the beauty of Portugal's capital city.
