When you visit SEA LIFE Porto with these tickets, you can get your hands on the Rocky Pools and marvel at the fascinating ocean tunnel of this Porto oceanarium.

The chapel is simple: it would go unnoticed if it were not for this pose of affront to the furies of the Atlantic. Inside, small spiral stairs give access to an upper floor. On the ground floor there are the usual cult statuettes. Outside, on the rounded rocks that support the monument, myths were built, and the greatest of all tells us about a Don Sebastião, who in his eternal morning of fog nailed his horse's claws to one of these rocks here, thus justifying two rounded, parallel marks that supposedly meet there. People say that the Desire ended up turning around without entering the beaches.
