Hotel Miramar Nazare

... firm that sold motorhomes, caravans and accessories. As we have a need for fresh supplies of exciting stuff like toilet fluid we went in search. Having driven 30 miles we found it tucked down a side street with three motorhomes, four caravans(one rusty) and one bottle of toilet fluid. Result! Following on this success we visited the walled town of Obidos that was traditionally given by the King to ...

Fatima<br>On the 13th of each month from May to October 1917, the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to three shepherd children - Lúcia dos Santos (age 10) and her cousins Jacinta (age 7) and Francisco Marto (age 9) - in the fields outside the village of Aljustrel near Fatima. The children later said that her coming had been preceded by an "angel of peace ...

... s way too salty.<br><br>Before we left the restaurant, several Sicilians tourists wanna take pictures with us. They didn't speak any English... and I was trying to ask "di dove sei".... well they didn't reply either. Anyway, after some confusion we found that they were from Sicily and we took pictures together. One old man said "Buon Viaggio" to us. Before I left, I said "Ciao Ciao, Buon Viaggio!" <br>

In the morning we went to Obidos, an old castle/city. There was a medieval festival the day before (just ended the day before or we would have seen people dressed in Medieval clothings!). Because of the end of the festival, we couldn't really go anywhere. So we ended up just climbing up a wall, took ...

... 8211; Obidos being the highlight. Obidos is an incredibly well preserved medieval walled village full of character. Definitely worth a visit if you&#8217;re in the area.<br><br>And while Lisbon was one of the nicest surprises of our travels yet, the enjoyment from the rest and relaxation along the coast was not far behind. Yes, even I was able to sit and enjoy the sun and quiet.<br><br>For more photos check out Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/27086162@N 04/sets/72157621594823972/ <br>

Day 5 &#8211; 26/12/08<br><br>COIMBRA-FIGUEIRA DA FOZ-NAZARE<br><br>We moved our luggage out &amp; kept it at the reception. Then we set out on foot for the Coimbra University. It was a steep climb uphill lined by pretty shops selling famous Portuguese painted tiles among other artefacts around the cobbles streets. The huge University complex is 700 yrs old &amp; has many arms like Medicine, Law, Zoology ...

... tents and Europeans dressed in designer beach etire complete with flowing shirts, sun tan oil and aviator sunglasses. There was a kids train driving around, a plane flying overhead dragging some advertising letters behind and even a stationary excercise bike class going on beach side with bad techno music blaring. There is a Copacabana pavement rip off happening and shops selling tacky souvenirs and bikinis, shell ornaments, churro donuts and ice cream. There is a bull ...

... she didn´t once stop singing and dancing. Our third day here wasn´t to exciting. It was cloudy out and it rained a little off and on. We walked to the harbour but there wasn´t too much happening there so we did a bit of emailing. We are off to Evora, Portugal tomorrow. Even thought the weather hasn´t been great, we both really enjoyed Nazare and would like to come back one day. The beach is huge, the town is quaint, and the people are very nice.

... medievale, in ottimo stato. Consiglio: salite sulle mura e godetevi il paese dall'alto. Un'oretta di sosta, con intermezzo in un Pasteleria del luogo e ripartenza, verso il mare. Seguiamo la rotta Caldas-Da-Reinha, Tornada,imbocchiamo il bivio per Chao da Parada, Salir do Porto e arriviamo a Sao Martinho. La strada è poco trafficata, dopo il bivio per Chao da Parada si imbocca una strada alberata in cui praticamente siamo soli. Sao Martinho si presenta con ...
