Tomar has the Knight Templars headquarters missed from the Dan Brown trail! The whole area is full of history - dinosaur footprints- grand cathedrals, the pilgrimage town of Fatima within easy reach, castles and magical caves, gastronomical fairs, enormous country markets, rough country walking, golf at Obidos and a new course opening in May 2008. There are hand made tile and potteries, shops that belong to a bygone age, and with more energetic activities too for the youngsters: Water sports, fishing, water park, river beaches and Atlantic coast excitement, karting, horse riding and horse fairs, wine tastings with tractor ride farm tour, all night summer festivals. So much to do one holiday is not enough! But even with all this going on, there is still tranquility unspoilt by tourism.
