On Tuesday, we took the coastal road along the Atlantic to Nazaré. After visiting the lighthouse – not far from which world-class surfing competitions take place, as this is where the famous giant waves break – we headed down to the beach and the students were able to enjoy some vacation atmosphere in perfect weather.
In the afternoon, the Batalah World Heritage Site was on the agenda. Mostly in silence, the students immersed themselves in the magic of the Gothic monastery. One of the honor guards in the monastery was a former pupil of one of the accompanying teachers.
