Have lunch before relaxing on the beach of São Martinho do Porto where you may swim and walk along the sand. Afterwards, visit Nazaré, a traditional fishing village and discover many original traditions. The seven colorful skirts worn by Nazaré women have been worn since the days when they used to wait for their husbands to return from the day's fishing trip.

Finally, head to the Alcobaça Monastery, classified by Unesco as the Monastery or Royal Abbey of Santa Maria. Explore the Monstary, founded by the Order of Cistercians in 1153. Once your tour comes to an end, begin your journey back to your accommodations.
