Description
We are an elderly couple, Portuguese and Dutch. We have a nice and beautiful garden, we are very interested in tropical fruit plants. We have banana, mango, avocado and citrus trees, among other.
Also we maintain a kitchen garden with vegetables and herbs, no potatoes!
Close to our place is the natural park Candeeiros, excellent for hiking, and very near are the beaches of Foz do Arelho , São Martinho do Porto and Nazaré. Foz do Arelho also has sailing, supping opportunities. Nazaré is famous for its waves and surfing opportunities.
Alcobaça is a nice historical little village with nice restaurants and of course, the famous Monastery
