Glamping do Medronheiro

Getting out to explore the local area may well involve exploring on foot – there are some lovely landscapes nearby in places like Pego do Salgueiro and historic sights including the Pedra Branca dolmen (both 20 minutes’ drive). Alternatively, a local company in Melides (10 minutes) runs bike tours, and you can sign up to ride along the sand at Horses By The Beach (15 minutes). Lazy beach days are up for grabs too, and with plenty of choice among the likes of Praia de Melides (15 minutes), Praia da Aberta Nova (20 minutes) and Praia do Carvalhal (25 minutes) – plus the nature trails of the Lagoa de Santo André Reserve (20 minutes). If you’ve brought the kids with you, a trip to Badoca Safari Park (20 minutes) or Mama Adama Alpaca Farm (35 minutes) may be a good call; if not, perhaps a tasting at local winery Canal Caveira (20 minutes) will appeal?
