Tuesday, June 16 - We left Lisbon for our final destination in Porto. Along the way, we stopped at Fatima to look around the grounds and the white Basilica commemorating
the appearance of the Virgin Mary.

Our Lady of Fátima refers to a series of Marian apparitions reported in 1917 by three shepherd children: Lúcia dos Santos and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto, in the town of Fátima. The children reported seeing the Virgin Mary monthly from May to October 1917, culminating in the famous "Miracle of the Sun" on October 13, where an estimated 70,000 witnesses saw the sun seemingly dance and zigzag in the sky.

After Fatima, we stopped in Coimbra, overlooking the Modego River for lunch and some shopping.

Before checking into our hotel in Porto, we toured the Cockburns Port Lodge to learn about the production of Port wines. Cockburn's is a historic Port wine lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, known for having the largest wooden Port cellar in the region and being the only one with an on-site team of coopers (barrel makers).

Monday, June 15 - We crossed the Vasco da Gama Bridge (Ponte Vasco da Gama), a 17.2-kilometer (10.7-mile!) cable-stayed and viaduct bridge that stretches across the Tagus River. Opened in 1998, it is the longest bridge in the European Union.

We stopped by a Lidl (Aldi) grocery store for a quick look around and to buy snacks for the day.

Next, we visited the Companhia das Lezirias, the largest agricultural, livestock, and forestry estate in Portugal. Founded in 1836 during the reign of Queen D. Maria II, it spans thousands of hectares between the Tagus and Sorraia rivers. It is a state-owned enterprise and includes one of the largest continuous cork oak forests (montado) in Portugal, alongside maritime pine and eucalyptus.

They harvest the cork trees every 9 years. Our guide explained that due to regulations of trunk size, cork trees may not be harvested for at least 25 years after being planted. The first and second harvestings are not good quality, so most trees are more than 40 years old before producing high-quality cork.

They also manage large-scale cultivation of rice, maize, olives, and vineyards, as well as breeding of cattle and high-quality Lusitano horses at their historic stud farm.

In the vineyard, they grow 26 varieties of grapes (13 red and 13 white). Their winery is known for producing labels like Tyto Alba, named after the resident barn owls they encourage to nest in the vines to scare of pests. Their Tyto Alba line is sold in a wooden box that can be used as a bird house after drinking the wine.

Saturday, June 13, found us driving northwest to Jabugo, an area known for production of Jamon Iberico de Jabugo (Iberian ham). We had a great lunch at Las Bellotas de Jabugo then kept on driving until we crossed the border into Portugal.

We spend the afternoon in Evora and visited the Roman Ruins and entrance into Evora Cathedral and the Bones Chapel. The Roman Temple of Evora dates back to the 1st-century. The Evora Cathedral is a massive 12th-century fortress-like cathedral situated right next the Roman Ruins. The Bones Chapel is located inside the Church of St. Francis (Igreja de São Francisco), this 16th-century chapel features walls and pillars lined with thousands of human skulls and bones.

Sunday, June 14, we made our way to Lisbon. Along the way, we enjoyed a visit of Agrotoro that was arranged by the Aberdeen Angus Portugal Society. Agrotoro, is a cattle ranch raising purebred Red Angus. One of their bulls was crowned European Grand Champion in 2025. They spent three years planning, researching and building before launching the ranch in 2018. In addition to the cattle, they also grow and harvest cork on the property.

After we arrived in Lisbon, we toured the Jeronimos Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site located in the Belém district. Commissioned by King Manuel I in 1501, it is a masterpiece of the Manueline architectural style, celebrating the Portuguese Age of Discovery and serving as the final resting place of explorer Vasco da Gama.
