Portugal

Portugal has a fascinating mix of the old, rural culture and modern life. The Atlantic coast is beautiful, with wide sandy beaches and lush foliage. The Portuguese are welcoming and hospitable. 

Our three-star hotel, Costa da Prata 1, is located on the seafront in the town of Figueira da Foz. The waters of the Atlantic are cool and the beach is known for its waves. At our hotel, the rooms are en-suite, with air conditioning. Our evening meals with simple but hearty Portuguese food, will be in the sister hotel, which is located 300m from our hotel.  

In 2027, the May group is a special for those in their 20s and 30s. 

The preserved mediaeval town of Obidos is a remarkable location. Walking along the ramparts of the city walls, you will find beautiful views of the red-tiled roofs in the town and the surrounding farmlands on the other side. In the narrow cobbled streets, the shops are filled with interesting local crafts.

The second largest city in Portugal has been settled since Roman times. The narrow and steep lanes are listed World Heritage sites and they wind their way down to the medieval waterfront. There is much to see, from the interesting shops through the museums and galleries to the amazing bridges on the river. You can also choose to relax in one of the many cafés.

Whether we have spent the day surfing, exploring the Portuguese towns or relaxing on the beach, each evening we enjoy a time of singing and an interesting Bible talk.
