Mafra

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.

Very Thorough

Melanie once again helped us plan our recent holiday to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana including a 3 day stopover in Dubai. She was careful to assess what we wanted to include in the trip, how we wished to travel between stops and what standard of accommodation we wanted. She is very thorough in her planning and was able within a short period of time to bring the plan together. It was a wonderful trip and went without any problems....
