Rua das Grutas, 2480-034 Alvados, Portugal
Lovely place to visit and apparently it's always 16-18 degrees C so you'd probably appreciate it more in the middle of a heatwave. When we bought the tickets, we've been told the next tour starts in 10 min and it's in Portuguese. And the English one will start in 25-30 min. Since we didn't want to wait, we joined the Portuguese tour. Big mistake! The tour took "1 hour" and not 15 min as I thought it would. I am sure the guide gave a lot of interesting information but spending an hour down there without understanding a word was painful. I'd highly recommend waiting for the English one if you don't speak Portuguese!
Very worth the visit, good guide explanations. Interesting location to appreciate natural rock formations.
Time well spent, 30/40m guided tour with interesting information. The girl that gave us the tour had very good English and explained everything very well.
The caves themselves exceeded expectations and presented nature in all its glory. The visit takes 30 / 40 minutes and the guide shows a truly understand and love of the caves. It's a magical world create by nature. Definitely put it on the list if you're visiting Nazare or Fatima.
The caves are impressive. The tour guide was a gentleman that was very knowledgeable and keen on his job, but his lengthy talk and frequent pauses were a bit too much for our 6 and 3 year-old kids.
