Historic Private Guided Full-Day Tour around Mafra and Ericeira

About this experience

Leaving Lisbon, we started the adventure in Mafra, with a taste of the conventual sweet "Fradinho", before visiting the Palace/Convent of Mafra, started in 1717 by D. João V.
Bring comfortable clothes, because we will then visit the Tapada de Mafra, to see animals in the wild, wild boar, buds, deer, foxes, etc. It is also known as enchanted forest because it retains an aura of mysticism, we can watch bird shows and bird watching.
Then lunch in Ericeira, where fish and seafood prevail, overlooking the famous beaches where surfing is king.
Then we will visit the typical village of José Franco, where, from a young age, he built a village made entirely of clay miniatures, replicas and objects of ancient professions. José Franco intended a giant crib representing customs from his childhood. We will provide an unforgettable day.
