Travelers will spend:
- An evening listening to the beautiful husky music of “fado” while sipping port;
- A day exploring Portugal’s most spectacular religious sanctuary, “Bom Jesus do Monte,” with its 18th-century giant baroque stairway; and
- A night at Pousada Serra da Estrela where a log fire and views of snow-capped mountains.
This trip will take participants to Lisbon, Oporto, Oliveira and Evora, showcasing architectural, historical and cultural treasures in ancient Portugal.
