For Day 9 we travelled from Viana do Castelo to the waled city of Obidos.
On the way we visited the riverside city of Aveiro where we stopped and saw the gondolas and also had the well known pastries of the town.
We then went to have lunch, which was grilled fish that was grilled just in front of us, in Praia da Vieira. While we were sitting and enjoying lunch we could also take in the beautiful view of the Atlantic Coast.
We then rode south to visit one of the most well known sights of Portugal, Nazaré. Most known international because of its giant 100-feet waves, Nazaré is also possibly the most famous fishing town in Portugal. We stopped our bikes in Sitio which is located on a rocky promontory over 100m above the main part of the town, Sitio provides wonderful views over the bay and beach of Nazaré, and from here we could see where the Atlantic regularly pounds creating ideal conditions for big wave surfing.
We finished the day in Obidos where we stayed at the Pousada da Vila inside the city walls. We also had the opportunity of walking on the actual walls that surround the city and from there see the area surrounding it. We had a good dinner and then walked back to our rooms to enjoy the last night on the road.
