Following our rendezvous at your Coimbra accommodations, we’ll journey to Figueira da Foz. Here, we’ll explore Praia da Claridade, a treasured locale amongst the locals.

We’ll tread along its gleaming sands and take time to capture memorable photos, before proceeding to the salt pans. At the Núcleo Museológico do Sal, we’ll unravel the secrets of salt and observe its production process firsthand. Before we head back to Coimbra, a drive through the verdant fields of Baixo Mondego will take you by surprise with its expansive corn and rice farming landscape.

Traversing these scenic routes, we’ll reach the strategically positioned Montemor Castle for a brief tour. This elevated fortification has stood witness to countless battles between Muslims and Christians.

Lastly, we will delight your taste buds with a sampling of traditional Tentúgal pastry - a contender amongst the top 7 gastronomic delights of Portugal. This dessert, deeply intertwined with the history of the monasteries, perfectly marries timeless ingredients such as sugar, cinnamon, eggs, and puff pastry.
