Figueira da Foz Tour
After meeting on Emídio Navarro Av. in Coimbra, you'll be taken to the coastal city of Figueira da Foz, where you'll head straight to Praia da Claridade, a popular beach among locals.
Stroll along its sands and take photos before visiting the area's famous salt flats. You'll visit the Figueira da Foz Salt Museum for insights into salt's importance here and the production process.
Driving through the corn and rice plantations of Baixo Mondego, you'll reach the Castle of Montemor-o-Velho, stopping for about 30 minutes. This Medieval fortress, built between the 10th and 15th centuries, was a residence for Portugal's royal family. Its location offers views over the valleys, having witnessed numerous historical battles.
For a tasty conclusion, you'll sample a typical Portuguese pastry known as a Pastel de Tentúgal, made with filo pastry, cinnamon, eggs, and sugar.
Finally, after a day of beautiful beaches and history, you'll return to the meeting point in Coimbra.
