Destination Information Alcobaça Alcobaça is a city in Leiria District, Portugal. The city grew along the valleys of the rivers Alcoa and Baça, from which it derives its name. The city of Alcobaça became notable after the first king of Portugal, Afonso Henriques, decided to build there a church to celebrate the conquest of Santarém to the Moors, in 1147. The church later evolved into the Monastery of Alcobaça, one of the most magnificent gothic monuments in the country. In the church are the tombs of King Peter I and his murdered mistress Inês de Castro. Over the centuries this monastery had an important role on Portuguese culture. Avila Ávila, is the capital of the province of the same name, which is now part of the autonomous community of Castile and León, Spain. The city is 1131 meters (3665 feet) above sea level, the highest provincial capital in Spain. It is built on the flat summit of a rocky hill, which rises abruptly in the midst of a veritable wilderness: a brown, arid, treeless table-land, strewn with immense gray boulders, and shut in by lofty mountains. The city walls are the symbolical emblem of the city. They contribute to the defining image of the warring and monastic center that Ávila was and has been able to maintain throughout the years. It constitutes a unique symbol that encloses within its walls mysticism and history, art and heroic chivalry. Ávila is a city of contrasts, the hustle and bustle of the Mercado (market) contrasts with the quiet repose of the temples and its cloisters. Churches, convents, and hermit; beautiful palaces and the impressive cathedral provide Ávila's character and identity, in which the spirit of Santa Theresa of Jesus and of Saint John of the Cross still vibrate. And yet, the crowning point of Ávila is, that once you have spent your energies walking through, gazing, admiring the beauty and, and you have allowed its peace to permeate through you, to sit in front of a well laden table. To sweeten your memories, Santa Theresa's yolks, and many other Castillian desserts, constitute one of the most exquisite culinary forms of this land of saints and knights. Batalha Porto and Lisbon from Madrid (Multilingual Tour)(© www.palacetours.com) 2/9 A small town amidst the hills of the Leiria area, Batalha is known for its magnificent monastery, one of Europe's greatest Gothic masterpieces, now honored with UNESCO World Heritage status. It was built to celebrate the Portuguese victory over the Castillians in the Battle of Aljubarrota in 1385, thus keeping a vow made by King João I to the Virgin Mary prior to the momentous conflict. The exterior possesses countless pinnacles, buttresses and openwork balustrades above Gothic and Flamboyant windows, while the front portal is decorated with statues of the apostles in intricate Gothic style. Cáceres Cáceres is the capital of the same name province, in the autonomous community of Extremadura, Spain. It was declared a World Heritage City by UNESCO in 1986 because of the city's blend of Roman, Islamic, Northern Gothic and Italian Renaissance architecture. Long ago, in Extremadura, Cáceres was, and still is, a city that offers an excellent example of evolution. Well defined by two time periods or eras: The Arabic fortress and the feudal city. Still maintains its roots and history thanks to the people, who have been able to pass on to the next generation, and has been able to protect, one of the best examples of the medieval and renaissance eras of the world. Its palaces and ancestral homes, once inhabited by lords' families and public institutions, with their coats of arms, their towers and machicolations, demonstrating the defensive character of the city. The attraction for the traveler to the city's beauty will create the desire to get lost within its labyrinth of medieval streets and plazas, under its arches, its towers and its battlements; within its churches, beautiful convents and amazing palaces. The traveler will discover the mixture of styles in its architecture from the Arabic through the northern Gothic, the Italian renaissance and the influential legacies of the Americas. He or she will always find peace, quietness and temperance within its inns and restaurants, that with their country cuisine and wines from excellent grapes, will rejuvenate in the stillness of a patio or simply a refreshing shadow. Cáceres is a city we are certain will occupy a privilege place in the memories of the visitor. Coimbra Coimbra served as Portugal's capital during the First Dynasty (12th Century) and remains home to the University of Coimbra, the oldest academic institution in the Portuguese-speaking world and one of the oldest in Europe. The city contains important archeological remains of structures dating from the time when it was the Roman town of Aeminium. In the Late Middle-Ages, declining as the political center of the Kingdom of Portugal, Coimbra began to evolve into a major cultural center with the foundation of the University of Coimbra in 1290. Today this impressive university is still one of the world's most illustrious and the city's biggest attraction. On another square nearby is the historic Santa Cruz Monastery, containing the tombs of Portugal's first two kings. Fátima Fátima is a city in Portugal famous for the religious visions that took place there in 1917. Fátima is a place of pilgrimage for many Catholics in commemoration of the apparition of the Virgin to three young shepherds in Cova da Iria. The Marian shrine in Fátima attracts a large number of Catholics, and every year pilgrims fill the country road that leads to the shrine with crowds that approach one million on May 13 and October 13, the significant dates of Fatima apparitions.

Urban areas are powerhouses of socio-economic growth, democracy and development, functioning as catalysts for inclusion and innovation; 2. Worldwide urbanization has led to an increasing number of people living in cities and feeling more connected with urban lifestyle which has translated to more people visiting cities looking for diversity, intercultural dialogue, innovation and exchange of knowledge; 3. Urban tourism constitutes an essential driver to the socio-economic development of many cities and their surroundings rural areas and contributes significantly to innovation and the conservation and promotion of natural and cultural resources; 4. The growth of urban tourism has created opportunities for development but also challenges for cities to manage environmental and socio-cultural impacts and the relationship between visitors and host communities, mobility, security, and flows of people. 5. The COVID19 crisis has put the tourism sector at a near standstill, with a particular impact on urban tourism and small businesses; at the same time measures to contain the pandemic such as remote work and the accelerated use of communication technologies reinforced tourism- related trends such as mobile life and lifestyle migration.

I am indebted to Professor Joana Ramôa Melo, my dissertation supervisor, for her thorough scholarly guidance within a much valued atmosphere of academic freedom, as well as for her encouragement, understanding and friendship. She has been assisted in her role by Professor José Custódio Vieira da Silva, dissertation co- supervisor, to whom I am particularly thankful for his intuitive suggestion, very early on in my research, of a potential patron for the object under study, which turned out to be the cornerstone of all the work presented here. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Pedro Redol and his team at the Monastery of Santa Maria da Vitória, Batalha, for their warm and professional welcome to the monument, granting me unlimited access to its facilities and archives, coupled with enthusiasm and support for my research project. A particular debt of gratitude is owed to Professor Miguel Metelo de Seixas, who most generously offered his time and precious knowledge on heraldry to enlighten me on this fascinating subject.

We provide authentic accommodations, luggage transfers, and some meals, along with comprehensive Route Notes, detailed maps, and 24-hour emergency assistance. This gives you the freedom to focus on the things that matter to you—no group, no guide, and no set schedule to stand in the way of enjoying your adventure, your way. Overview The northern reaches of Portugal exude a rural beauty unlike anywhere else. At once rugged and peaceful and wholly magnificent, the steep granite mountains of Minho and gentle hills of the Douro Valley each embody a distinct Portuguese spirit and exploring them by foot is a true privilege. You’ll begin in the spellbinding province of Minho, a rich patchwork of soaring slopes and emerald- green terraces criss-crossed and climbed by ancient, rugged shepherd trails that link tiny secluded stone villages. This is the most contemplative, and immersive, way to experience rural Portugal: your solitude is part of the adventure as Garrano ponies, Barossã cattle and a shepherd tending his flock may be your only companions. Pathways then point to the Douro River Valley, where vintners have been producing Portugal’s prized port wines for generations.
