Day Three: Castelo do Queijo Walk
In the morning, we depart towards the coastline by Boavista as we travel to the Fort of S. Francisco Xavier. The Fort was built in the 17th Century to protect the coast from the pirates of North Africa. It is located on a wedge-shaped rocky hill, hence the name Castelo do Queijo (Cheese Castle). Our walk starts here and follows the restless Atlantic coastline all the way to the river Douro estuary. After lunch, we get back into town and continue the walk, including a visit to São Bento Station to view the beautifully tiled panels, the Carmo Church, Clérigos Church and tower (entrance optional), the frontage of Lello bookshop.

Essential Information
From the 12th October 2025 the EU is introducing a new European Entry System (EES) that will be phased in and fully operational by the 10th April 2026. Non-EU nationals including British passport holders will now be required to complete biometric checks on arrival and exit to Schengen countries, which will include facial recognition and fingerprints. There is no cost for this, and no action needs to be taken prior to departure.
To enter Portugal or Madeira your passport must meet 2 requirements. It must be:- less than 10 years old on the day you enter (check the ‘date of issue’)
- valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave (check the ‘expiry date’)
