ern museum, beside Parque das Abadias, houses a wonderfully wide-ranging collection

MUSEUM

Serra da Boa Viagem
( ) For those with wheels, this headland, found 4km north of Figueira and carpeted in
pines, eucalyptus and acacias, is a fine place for panoramas, picnics, mountain-biking and
cool walks. Take the coastal road to Buarcos, turn right at the lighthouse and follow the
signs to Boa Viagem. Up here, Luso Aventura ( 915 536 555; www.lusoaventura.com ; €10-16; Apr-
Oct; ) has a series of zipline-style routes between trees offering great entertainment for
all levels.
