5 Km from the Estate, the Mealhada, a place where you can find many places to eat the famous leitão à Bairrada, that can be accompanied with the famous wines of the region. Majestic Ridge of Mountains, covered with green and fertile fields with small villages and mills preserved along the centuries. Far off the ostentatious flock of sheep and goats can be seen. It surprises for its collection of houses with porches, florid windows and the admirable Rossio Square. Always with that green that involves us, the past you can feel between collective memories and physical presence, and the present that can be seen in people, in a historical centre full of life, in urban equipment and new residential zones. Owning a famous private collection of 60 antique cars, including a reproduction of the first car entering Portugal, a Peugeot of 1899, a Bugatti 35B, a Ferrari F40 and a Rolls Royce used by Queen Elisabeth II, by popes and presidents, who visited Portugal in the last 25 years. There is also a collection of motorcycles, the oldest dating from the beginning and the middle of the century. In its surrounding villages where you can delight yourself with landscapes made of calm and green vegetation, in the Manorial and rural houses of Valongo do Vouga, Macieira de Alcôba and Préstimo or in the bucolic lake of Pateira de Fermentelos.
