My husband & I used this service to travel from Porto to Lisbon. Our driver, João, did a very nice…read morejob. We not only appreciated the service, we enjoyed the time with him. His English was very good, and he was personable and knowledgeable. We'd chosen two points of interest to visit along the way. João waited with the car while we stopped at Nazare and then again when we explored Obidos and had a leisurely lunch. As we arrived in Lisbon we didn't have much time left, but João still managed to show us around a bit. Highly recommend!

At the time of this post, we are only halfway through our tour using this service, but we have seen so much more than we could have done on our own. Our driver fits this van into streets that barely accommodate bicycles! Job well done, and we look forward to using you again.

You get to wander all over, looking at the dorm rooms that the monks lived in. You also get to see their kitchen and eating area as well as gardens. And of course the church inside is very very beautiful. I do not know much about the Templars before coming here, but they were a very interesting group.

It was the temple where the Knights Templar lived when they were betrayed by the king of France and disbanded by the pope and fled France. Those who survived fled to Portugal where King Dinis reamed them the Knights of Christ. The symbol of the Knights of Christ is slightly different than the Knights Templar but you can see the similarity. The inner chapel is very ornate and beautiful which showed the money that they had. I loved putting the history together with the actual place.

The waters cold, very cold. If you need a board there's a bunch offering rentals. Plus, I'm iffy about renting wetsuits but they do have some thicker ones that insulate the heat and keep you warm in the cold waters. You can park at the lot by SurfCastle and overall it's a surf beach with that Bohemic vibe that you were looking for. It's a peninsula so there's a beach on both sides of the thin sand way that separates the two waterways. I love everything about this beach and even though I almost got pneumonia from swimming in the water, it's just cause im fiery miamian who's used to 85 degrees Fahrenheit year round. For most Europeans who frequent the area, the water is actually warm.
