Local attractions
Rent kayaks, bikes and watery equipment on site to tackle the surface of the lake if you're at Albufeira do Maranhão Camping Park on an energy surge; more of the active same along with boat tours and jetskiing is at Lake Montargil about 20 kilometres from here.
But if you're around for a restful stay, amble peacefully towards the village of Avis, a place that took an important role in Portugal's history and which has the architectural heritage to prove it. It's called the village of warrior monks as it was donated by Alfonso 2 to Fernão Anes, master of Portugal's only military order, and is filled with religious buildings such as the Convent of St. Benedict of Avis, the Pelourinho, the castle walls and its towers.
Anyone staying in Portugal within a couple of hours' drive of Lisbon will also get a firm recommendation from Pitchup.com to get there with some immediacy, and Albufeira do Maranhão Camping Park is about an hour and a half away. Among our many suggestions are the Museu do Teatro Romano/Roman Theatre Museum, Lisbon City Museum or just wandering around drinking in Lisbon's café culture – but do have at least two days in the city to find your own faves.
