#localescapes It is mostly known for the sumptuous Mafra National Palace inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built in the baroque style, the Mafra National Palace also inspired Portuguese Nobel Prize laureate José Saramago to write his novel Baltasar and Blimunda (Memorial do Convento). Other points of interest around the municipality include the Tapada Nacional de Mafra, an enclosed wildlife and game reserve, and Ericeira's World Surf Reserve, the second in the world.#mafra

Portugal Ericeira Lisbon Back in Portugal again, this time not staying in Lisbon city center. Just taking a turn to places I haven't been before, like Ericeira. This place is rated as the world's second best surfing reserve and also the venue for many world-class surfing competitions. I've always wanted to try surfing, and since I plan to stay in Portugal for a while, the prices here are much cheaper than in China. I can also participate in a surfing camp experience while I'm here. This is also a good place to watch the sunset, but you have to choose the right day. Because of the beautiful purple sunset yesterday, I decided to come to the seaside today to enjoy the sea breeze, watch the sunset, and have some dessert. However, the weather didn't cooperate. An hour ago, it was clear and sunny, but when the sunset came, the sky was covered with clouds. Although the scene of the sun shining through the clouds and casting a beam of light on the sea was not bad, it was still a bit regretful not to see the expected purple sunset.

Portugal Madeira Portugal's Dwarf Kingdom Aldeia Típica José Franco Address: N116 34, 2640-578 Mafra Here is a completely free private museum. The history of the small village can be traced back to 1920. Jose Franco, a bricklayer, created this mini village to record his childhood memories and showcase the local way of life. The replica of living spaces is displayed here. There are two playgrounds designed for children in the village. Each small house is filled with miniature representations of local residents' lives, from the music classroom to the grocery store, from the small farm to the bakery, from the windmill to the defensive castle. This is a small community where one can live independently.

It's complicated to describe how magical Sobreiro is. I couldn't properly explain the feeling of being there to my partner, so I simply took her there. Don't forget to try the wine ;) Go to Sobreiro, you will understand what I mean. #coupletrip #travel Inspiration #village #old #portugal #mafra #traditional #museum #recreation #exploring #roadtrip #tripblazers
