Montejunto is a less known Mountain near Lisboa that separates the atlantic coast from the Tejo river. From the top you have a huge view if the clouds are not low. Not far from there used to labour an ice factory, who delivered the royal palace, particularly Palacio de Queluz.

Di passaggio da Arruda ho notato la chiesa del borgo che all’esterno è un tipico monumento manuelino con un bel portale e la struttura interna. Il decoro interno è invece più tardo con decoro in azulejos e un bell’altare. Merita un’occhiata.

Quem diria que encontrávamos este sítio neste zona do País?! As nossas filhas adoraram e fartaram-se de brincar. Os animais estão muito bem tratados e os jogos também super divertidos. Na grande maioria feitos em Madeira na própria quinta. Excelentes espaços para pic nic. A repetir, certamente.

Interesting museum really far from Lisbon. We went there because it was close to our hotel. But we found it really interesting that worth a visit!

Overall Ratings

Casa Santos Lima is a family owned company dedicated to the production, bottling and selling of Portuguese wines. The company is present directly or indirectly in the regions of Lisboa, Algarve, Alentejo, Vinho Verde and Douro. This way and from around 400 hectares of vineyards, it produces wines known for their excellent quality/price ratio and exports around 90% of its total production to close to 50 countries in all 5 continents. Casa Santos Lima is also the largest producer of “Vinho Regional Lisboa” and “DOC Alenquer” and in the past years has been one of the most awarded Portuguese wineries in major national and international wine competitions.

We chose to visit Casa Santos Lima for an example of a large-scale winery in Portugal that has invested in exporting and draws wines from around the country. With vineyards in Douro, Vinho Verde, Alentejo, Lisboa, and Algarve VRs, Casa Santos Lima exports 90% of its product, and I've seen it in the US, under the "Lab" label. The Quinta da Boa Vista lies just outside Aldeia Galega de Merceana (watch for the white billboard sign). Once there, we watched a moving video to start the tour, highlighting in his own words the owner's journey to growing this business, and then toured the nearby vineyard, winemaking areas, and barrel room. Everything was spotlessly clean and minimalist in its design--and incredible to see stainless tanks holding 100,000 liters, with built-in tanks to 250,000 liters! We wondered at the quality of the wine, but the "Terroir" tasting allayed our fears. Each wine, from a different VR and of a varying style from vinho werde, rose, branco, and tinto, was well made and enjoyable--and at very competitive pricing even for Portugal. We ended up with a case to take home that cost us less than €40. A very hospitable place, and we look forward to watching their continued growth in the future.
