I really love music and the history of music so when I was in Lisbon and saw an ad for this museum I just knew I had to visit it! It is not close to Lisbon and so I had to travel by ferry, train and on foot but it sure was worth it! All these music machines, dating as early as 1800 or so, up to the 1950's. Really loved the picture discs and the private tour that the owner gave me even though i did not visit the museum during the weekend! If you love music and love the history of music or when you are interested in how music machines have evolved since 1800 you REALLY SHOULD VISIT this museum!
One tip:
If you travel by public transport, take a taxi from Pinhal Novo or Venda do Alcaide train station, it saves you a very long walk!

At the beginning of the Portinho da Arrábida, considered one of the best Beaches in Europe. Not as fancy or expensive as the one next to it, but definitely more real, a restaurant with the balcony over the sea where you can see the transparent and translucent blue waters and the fishes waiting for a bit of bread to eat. The staff is very friendly with fishing know how and the fish is fresh and rich. Try the desert based on a Portuguese recipe of "Arroz doce" but with a fresh touch. A perfect example of Portuguese Seafood restaurant on the beach.
4. Troia Beach

Reviewed By Barbara S - San Diego, California
The Troia Beach is especially suited for families with small children because it is protected from the usually high waves of the other Beaches in the area. There is a café/restaurant with outside showers. Parking right next to the beach can be a problem but there is ample parking in park houses nearby. From the beach there is also a walk way to Troia Marina with shops and restaurants.

Winemaking since 1953. With winebar and regular expositions. Cascalheira Syrah, Castelão, 3 castas (Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon & Castelão) are the main wines. Visit us!
Reviewed By Luis S - Bien Hoa, Vietnam
ASL Tome' is, by anyone's appreciation of wines, a VERY table wine. But, it is appreciated in the Pinhal Novo region, simply because it's local, and because it is extremely cheap. (5 EUR for 5 lt BIB). ! EUR per bottle. Don't expect anything special....MoreLuís, thank you for your opinion. We also have the "Cascalheira" range, top quality wines. This range referred ("Alto da Cascalheira") is the low cost wines, for daily food. I hope you try it and like it. Thank you!

Reviewed By Flavio S - Montijo, Portugal
Depois de jantar no pizzart com um grupo de amigos, passamos pelo 5 estrelas bar. Foi bastante bom, excepto que a música estava bastante alta e ninguem a dançar. Pensaria que era um bar mais para se estar do que para tar a ouvir música aos altos berros.. De resto, nada de mal a apontar. É um bom espaço.
9. Quinta do Alcube

Reviewed By jcwbesq - Minneapolis, Minnesota
We took a small, professional, day tour that stopped at this lovely, small, family owned winery. While not what 'experienced' vineyard visitors might expect, it is a delightful little place. While not what 'worldly' wine connoisseur might describe, the wines are amazingly well awarded and in fact extremely inexpensive. So inexpensive in fact purchasing and consuming their best wines may be the sharpest wine investment you could make (with your spouse, friends and drinking guests anyway). Highly recommended by locals, it is well worth a stop, even if travel and the site time takes a morning or afternoon.
