Goal of the Activity

The goal of the "Nazaré and Óbidos FlashTrip" was to provide international students with an opportunity to explore Portugal’s cultural and natural heritage through a one-day excursion. By visiting iconic locations like Nazaré and Óbidos, the event aimed to promote cultural appreciation, foster social interactions among participants, and enhance their overall experience in Portugal. The trip also sought to support participants in creating lasting memories while learning about Portuguese history and traditions.

Description

The "Nazaré and Óbidos FlashTrip" offered Erasmus students a full-day journey through two of Portugal's most iconic destinations. The trip began with a visit to Nazaré, known for its stunning cliffs, religious landmarks, and world-famous surfing spots. Participants explored highlights such as the Sítio da Nazaré viewpoint, the Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora, and the Surfer Wall. Despite the windy weather, students enjoyed taking photos and admiring the Atlantic views.

The journey continued to Óbidos, a medieval village surrounded by ancient walls. Participants enjoyed a guided tour through its cobblestone streets, learning about its history and unique traditions, followed by free time to explore charming shops and try local specialities like ginjinha. The day combined educational insights with fun, leaving participants with a greater appreciation of Portugal’s coastal and historical gems.
