Mata Bicho Real Taverna

“A combination of Portuguese food with French cuisine. If you're planning on going there, make sure to call and book a table in advance.”

“Coming up from the city, visitors enter Leiria Castle through the Albacara Gateway. Inside this defensive bastion, there are various historical points of interest that have been well preserved. They include the Church of Nossa Senhora da Pena, the former Royal Palaces and the Keep in addition to wonderful views out over the surrounding countryside. The architecture clearly indicates the medieval origins of this city. It was conquered by the first king of Portugal Afonso Henriques in 1135. He ordered a small chapel be built in honour of Our Lady of Mercy before handing over this military stronghold to Paio Guterres, the first governor of Leiria. Towards the end of the century, the castle walls were reinforced by king Sancho I after the region was finally secured by the Christian crusaders.”

“ Great selection of stores, they also have a movie theater and a great food court.”

“É uma piscina com uma nascente de água pura no meio da natureza. A nascente alimenta o Rio Nabão e a zona é muito bonita e aprazível. Por causa da pandemia a entrada está limitada a um número pequeno de pessoas pelo que a experiência de usufruir da piscina e praia fluvial ainda é mais agradável. ”
