Ericeira & Mafra Tour – Rural Life, Wine & Ocean Views
Overview
Portugal offers so much more than what typical travel guides suggest. Skip the mass tourism and join us as we explore Mafra and Ericeira.
Start your day with a hotel pickup and head to the village of Mafra, where you'll find the UNESCO-listed Mafra Convent. This impressive site features Baroque and Neoclassical architecture, including the Basilica, dormitories, a hospital, and a renowned library that houses 36,000 books.
Next, we'll visit the unique José Franco Museum, which is a living replica of a traditional Portuguese village, showcasing rural life from the mid-20th century.
Then, we’ll continue to Ericeira, recognized as Europe’s first World Surfing Reserve, famous for its charming blue and white streets. You'll have free time for lunch or a leisurely stroll by the seaside.
To conclude the day, we'll visit a family-run winery. You'll tour the cellars, learn about the wine production process, and enjoy exceptional wines paired with local bread and olives.
