In the past Santo Tomé used to also be a laundry area and if you are lucky you will still find an elder lady doing her laundry here. Day and night you will find people coming here with empty bottles or even big containers to fill up their water storage. This water is better then any business can buy.

Amazing place! To…read morepreface, we were just your average tourists, unlike those who "pilgrim" their way here (hats off to those hardcore hikers). Nevertheless, breathtaking! Maybe not as grand as the Vatican, but after being to both, I love this cathedral much more... Great views, great vibe, great mass (if you're into such a Catholic thing), and a great cobblestone surrounding city to get your walk on... It's amazing! If you've never, you should! Prost!

However, during our trip in early September, it only took us about 15 minutes to enter around 4 pm. So, it might be worth it to visit later in the day.

Also, it's set up where you are not really allowed to linger around the tomb because it's pretty much a walk in, walk out situation. Admission is free for both the cathedral and tomb. Also, are not allowed to bring large rucksack; however, you can bring smaller bags.

Giant ocean waves are known to slam the lighthouse's jetty, making it a (careful!) must-see for photographers. The lighthouse's historic neighborhood, Foz do Douro, one of Portugal's most affluent enclaves, is well worth exploring: wave-washed granite at Ourigo Beach and the weathered walls of the Fort São João de Foz contextualize the lighthouse's genesis.
