Surroundings Our premise Termas da Azenha includes 2.5 hectares of beautiful grounds, surrounded by former agricultural rice growing semi-wetlands. 1.5 hectares is formed by our 'hill' Monte de Barril, which is part of one of the valley slopes. This part was used as an olive tree plantation holding a hundred olive trees. We are proud to say that these olive trees are still part of our land. Over the past decade the trees have had to miss some tender loving care and therefore we have started to prune back the trees to make them more productive. After all there is nothing much better than making your own olive oil! The remaining space is taken by the buildings, the stables, garages and the gardens. Buçaco Close to Luso lies the forest of Buçaco, surrounded by a stone wall. Within the old growth forest a 104 year old castle nowadays serves as a hotel. The forest is a perfect place for a stroll or a picnic. Luso The spring waters of Luso are rich in radioactivity and therefore widely used for treating kidney problems. Luso's spring water is well famous and most popular in Portugal. If you are interested in its healing power you can visit a daily market opposite the spring water complex. Mosteiro da Batalha The monastery of Batalha is a masterpiece of Portuguese gothic architecture. Nowadays the monastery is a UNESCO monument. Excursions in the monastery as well as in the surrounding area are offered. Curía The spring water of Curía is known for its medicinal qualities for sufferers of rheumatism or hypertension. Curía also hosts tennis courts, pools and a lake. Aveiro Aveiro is situated at the end of Rua do Aveiro, a long road which winds along salt lakes, inlets and channels. At the end of the road, running parallel to the beach, a nature reserve shows its beauty. The channels of Aveiro traverse the town, small bridges connecting the banks. That's why Aveiro is also called the Venice of Portugal. The town of Aveiro has various museums and a beautiful park. Enjoy shopping around town or the nightlife. Tomar On top of the hill above town lies the beautiful Convento do Cristo. A combination of castle and monastery used in early days as headquarters of the supreme military order of the temple of Jerusalem, in its original language called; Ordo Supremus Militaris Templi Hierosolymitani. The town itself is attractive because of its park, square, renovated warehouses and factories. Remarkable is the match-box museum holding an extensive collection. Amusement for kids in the region There are plenty of things do for the kids. Take for example the open air museum of Coimbra, called, Portugal dos Pequenitos, in this museum you will find 'kids size' scale models of colonial architecture from Brazil, Mozambique, Angola and Macão. As Coimbra hugs the river Mondego there are many river beaches to be found for relaxing and swimming. The castles of Buçaco, Montemor-o-Velho and Pombal are perfect day trippers for the whole family. In montemor you can even visit a small zoo. Kids do like beaches and water; well there is plenty of it just a few miles down the road. The beaches in this area are very quiet which leaves your family lots of space to play around. As the undertow of the Atlantic Ocean is very strong during low tide some precaution does needs to be taken, even for adults. High tide is safe for swimming. Sports Numerous options for sports are available around Azenha. Figueira has tennis courts, a sea-pool for lane-swimming and what about horse riding on the beach? Every year surfing championships are held on the beach of Figueira. Surf fanatics can go crazy around here with the average wave being 6 to 10 feet high. At the lakes in this area you can rent a kayak or canoe, fishing can be done on the beach, at the lakes or even just a stroll away from our bath house in the river Pranto. Markets Many Portuguese markets offer meat, fish, poultry, fruit, vegetables, bread, clothing, agricultural tools, plants and more, all for reasonable prices. In Coimbra and Figueira the daily markets are held inside a big hall and only in the mornings. Highlight is the Sunday morning market 10 miles down the road in Louriçal. Our Termas da Azenha is situated just outside the small village of Pedrogão do Pranto at the foot of the valley slopes and within the valley of the river Pranto. The river Pranto is a tributary of the river Mondego, the main river which flows into the Atlantic Ocean a few miles further down the valley. As we are situated on the boundary of forest and water we do have two ecosystems holding a very rich mixture of flora and fauna. This area alone is home to around 300 species of birds, a lot of remarkable birds are easy to spot and visit our wetlands frequently; blue kingfisher, heron, stork and flamingo. There is a great variety of pine-, fruit- and foliage trees. The rivers and estuaries around our bath house are filled with all sorts of fish, river lobster, shrimp and frogs. We also spot foxes, rabbits, hares and bats. The area in the valley is often used for fishing and hunting. The area is very well suited for day walks, bike rides and horse riding. The vicinity of the beautiful Atlantic coast, Figueira da Foz and the quiet beaches of Lavos and Leirosa make it a perfect place for nature and sun lovers who come to seek clean air and time for themselves. The medicinal water from our springs is therefore an extra attraction. Although the bathhouse has not properly been used for the last 10 years before we settled in, we still daily welcome local guests; some of them come from far, to take home a few litres of water or soak themselves in one of our healing baths filled with spring water. This region is not only well suited for nature lovers, guests who come to soak up some of Portugal's finest culture find themselves surrounded by lots of opportunities to explore. Coimbra, the city of universities is only 25 miles away. The excavations of the ancient Roman stronghold of Conimbriga are a mere 16 miles away. The famous pilgrimage city of Fatima, the monastery of Batalha, the former castle in Buçaco and the Thermal baths of Curia and Luso are less than one hour away by car.
