We head to Tapada Nacional de Mafra (a preserved natural area), whose constitution dates back to the 18th century, more precisely to 1747, the time of the reign of King John V of Portugal and the construction of the National Palace. It’s an area of 1187 hectares, surrounded by a wall of 21 km long, originally aimed at hunting, for the entertainment of the royal family and nobility.
The Tapada, which is celebrating its 270th anniversary, is now home to a dense forest that serves as habitat for several animals, such as the red deer, wild boar, foxes, iberian wolves, small mammals and many birds species.
In this promotional video you can explore some places and activities that the area provides, among spaces dedicated to the conviviality (perfect for family picnics, animal walks, shows with predatory birds and other didactic activities), accommodation, halls that can host all kind of events and a museum that brings together an extraordinary collection of beautiful carriages.
