Description
Silver Coast Private Tour
This Silver Coast Private Tour offers us everything – heritage, history, art and beautiful landscapes. But we’re going even further: we want to provide you with a true experience of the senses that promotes deep contact with its people and traditions, but also with a lively and animated region that welcomes visitors with open arms and always a smile on its face.
Óbidos and Caldas da Rainha
We’ll get to know the heritage bequeathed by Queen Leonor, founder of the world’s first Thermal Hospital in the 15th century, from which Caldas da Rainha developed. During the visit we’ll come across a vibrant city, where you can breathe in the art of ceramics, especially through the unparalleled work left by Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, and where you can feel the pulse of its people and traditions, visible in the traditional commerce, such as the Praça da Fruta, a daily open-air market throughout the year.
Óbidos has preserved its history and charm and is now one of the most unique and visited towns in the country. The castle walls, accessed through the Porta da Vila, embrace a labyrinth of streets and white houses that transport us back to medieval times, and every nook and cranny of Óbidos offers something to discover.
Peniche, sea in sight
Cabo Carvoeiro, the second westernmost cape on the Portuguese mainland coast, protected by a characteristic 25-meter lighthouse. Recognized for its natural value, this cape offers one of the most emblematic panoramic views of the Portuguese coast – to the west you can see the small Berlengas archipelago, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve 2011. From Nau dos Corvos, we can see a vast geological and paleontological heritage, made up of heavily eroded limestone cliffs and fields of lapiás, forming unique landscapes of incredible beauty.
Nazaré, Traditions and the Giant Waves
When we arrive in the town of Nazaré, we head straight for Sítio da Nazaré, the highest point, from where you’ll have unique views over the town and the coast. It was here that D. Fuas Roupinho and his horse were saved by the apparition of Our Lady, and that’s how the Capela da Memória was born, a chapel built on the steep cliffs. Let the tour begin!
