Mafra, a city and a municipality in the district of Lisbon, on the west coast of Portugal, is mostly known for the sumptuous Mafra National Palace. 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 2º in the world.
Our Mediterranean cruise fabulous!
When I called Kingsbridge Travel I had so many questions. I had looked online and got so confused with all the reviews of different ships and cruise lines. Diane took the time to find out where we had been before and what kind of activities we like. She chose a ship that wasn't on our radar and took the time to book the best location for us. She also recommended a tour of Akrotiri in Santonini that was one of the highlights of our vacation.
