Since we have lived here for a while, we can recommend all kinds of fun day trips and excursions.

Here are a few examples.

Portugal has many famous and beautiful cities.

About 45 minutes’ drive from our quinta is the centuries-old university town of Coimbra. Beautiful vistas, cosy squares, and the university with its famous university library

On sunny days, visit one of the beautiful river beaches – praia fluvial in Portuguese – for fun and refreshment.

Many river beaches have catering facilities for a snack or a nice lunch.

For a day out, visiting one of the beautiful waterfalls or strolling through a schist village is a nice change of pace
