Free open-air museum dedicated to ancient Portuguese life. A Portuguese village with traditional white houses on a slightly reduced scale was built by the potter José Franco to give future generations an idea of what the village life looked like at the beginning of the 20th century.
The museum begins with a working device for extracting water.
There are water and windmills, shops, workshops, a smithy, a school, even with wax figures of people. True, some of this may be closed, but even what is open is enough to get acquainted with the life of that time.
There are also several scenes with moving figures of people and models of vehicles.
There is also a real store, already in full size. Here you can buy fresh warm bread with sausage baked in it, made according to the technologies of that time. It's best to eat it right away while it's still warm and crispy.
And next to the store there is an adega - a wine cellar, also a real one, where you can buy a glass of wine with bread and sausage.
And there is also a miniature in miniature - a toy village, made on a very small scale.
In general, on the way from Mafra to Ericeira, it is worth devoting one and a half to two hours to the village of José Franco, it will be interesting for both adults and children.
