Itinerary for Mafra Queluz and Ericeira Private Tour

• 1 Convent of Mafra

  Leaving LisbonWe start the Private Tour through Mafra Palace. The National Palace of Mafra, a complex consisting of a Royal Palace, a Basilica and a Convent, was completed in 1735, by the will of King D. João V. It was the home of the royal family for a few years, until the death of the king, but it never ceased to be one of the favorite places of the court. Later, during the French invasions at the beginning of the 19th century, and with the royal family taking refuge in Brazil, the Palácio de Mafra was stripped of many of its treasures. Despite everything, it constitutes the most important monument illustrating the Baroque style in Portugal. The Mafra Palace occupies around 38000m2, with 1200 rooms, 4700 doors and windows and 156 stairs, a monumentality financed by gold from Brazil.

• 3 Ericeira

  ERICEIRA is a beautiful fishing village, very close to Sintra and Mafra. Its centre, older and more typical, allows the visitor to walk through narrow and winding streets that take us back to other times. Its connection to the sea is undeniable, even for the immense ocean that serves as a backdrop to the houses.
  The Cliffs in Ericeira that meander along the shores of Ericeira beach, also give it a unique beauty, such as the small boats of fishermen that bring the best and freshest fish to land that can be tasted in many of the restaurants in the village. Surfers, both national and international, look for the best waves in Ericeira, which is a world reference for sportsmen.
