Portugal - Alcobaca - 2005

From Nazare, we decided to move to Peniche, another fishing village to the South.  On our way were Alcobaca and Obidos, two of the highly rated cultural sites, and "must-see" places.

Alcobaca is the location of the Mosteiro de Santa Maria de Alcobaca, a 12th century Cistercian Monastary.  Being burned out on such edifices, I took pictures, but what I remember most is that there were no public bathrooms and we wound up running to a nearby Café to order coffee and use the WC. 

Above is the main interior courtyard.
