The morning is complete with a trip in the mountains and a short walk in an ancient road, built by the romans and used by the Spanish army to invade Portugal.

The afternoon is spent in the beautiful town of Batalha, where the echoes of the past are hidden in every corner, always in the shade of the great Monastery. This great building was promised by the King on the eve of the battle and built soon after as a symbol of gratitude for the Portuguese victory. Its halls and cloisters still remember the faithful monks that lived and prayed in its walls, and the great church is a testimony to engineers and builders of the Medieval Ages.
