My husband took me here for the day and it was stunning. The convent and chapel are the oldest buildings in Portugal which is incredible and then we spent a lovely afternoon on the beach there too. Defninitely worh escaping the city for a day and enjoy it out in the countryside.

Just under 60km south of Lisbon, good roads so it should only take about an hour, depending on time taken to leave the city

Set in an old convent, itself beautiful, my mother an I adored this tile museum. The designs and colours are stunning, I just wish there was an excuse to tile my house with them as in some of the examples I then spotted around the city. Beautiful and practical, they keep the house cool in the summer and help heat loss in winter, much more attractive than our lagging!

Rua Madre de Deus, it's difficult to get to by public transport so we got a taxi
