Full Description

Visit one of the seven wonders of Portugal — the Mafra National Palace. Explore the Village of José Franco, which displays the culture, heritage and village life of Portugal. Enjoy the awesome beach of Ericeira, a surfer's paradise.

We start our journey from Lisbon, taking about 45 minutes to reach our first destination — the magnificent Mafra Palace. This monumental Baroque and Neoclassical palace-monastery was classified as a National Monument in 1910 and was a finalist in the Seven Wonders of Portugal. In 2019, it was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Next, we'll visit the charming Typical Village of José Franco, a replica of traditional Portuguese village life created by potter José Franco in the 1960s. This ethnographic village features workshops, stores and living spaces decorated with authentic objects showcasing the customs and work activities of the Mafra region.

Finally, we'll enjoy São Lourenço Beach in Ericeira, part of the Ericeira World Surfing Reserve. This wide sandy beach with rough Atlantic waves is perfect for water sports or simply relaxing by the ocean.
