Tourism in Portugal

The region of Nazaré has always been extremely rich in all sorts of fish varieties. No wonder that fish plays a major role in the gastronomic tradition of Nazaré. Fish comes in many shapes and it can be cooked in several different ways: grilled, in the oven or simply dry. Authenticity is the motto.

Born in the tiny village of Melo, within Guarda district, Vergílio Ferreira had since early childhood a very hard burden to carry, when his parents emigrated to the United States of America. This sense of austerity can be clearly felt all over his fictional and philosophic works. As well as the overwhelming influence of Serra da Estrela in his world vision.

With the arrival of the Christmas season, the Schist Village of Talasnal once again becomes one of the most iconic settings in Lousã Mountain. This year, the village presents its largest and most carefully crafted Christmas decorations ever, the result of a joint effort by local homeowners, the community, and municipal support.

Tomar is a great destination for gastronomy lovers, especially sweet-toothed travellers. Apart from welcoming restaurants, where we can taste the best local cuisine, there are countless regional sweets. True temptations that are very hard to resist!
