This man made lake is 66 km long and provides the water supply for Lisbon 125 km away. You can water ski, fish. jet ski, hire speedboats or take a trip on the restaurant boat (ship really) dining and whiling away the hours. The lake has a multitude of restaurants and cafe bars along its banks where you can dine for very little or splash out and enjoy the Portuguese cuisine in all its glory. Within a short walk of Casa do Lago less than 5 minutes you could be eating at Sabor de Pedra a stunning location where you can sit on the terrace and have a lavish meal overlooking the lake or walk the other way and a cafe meal awaits you. Casa do Lago is a short drive to the world heritage town of Tomar where you can explore the Knight Templar's castle or the Convent De Christo or even both. You can stand on the bridge and watch the river weave its way through the town centre. You can shop at the two large supermarkets for your groceries or visit the Friday market where you can buy anything from a saucepan to a peacock and everything else in between. The coastal towns of Nazare and Peniche are about an hour way as is Obidos and if golf is what you crave then again a short drive and you are ready to tee off. This area of Portugal is steeped in history and the scenery should not be missed. (The festival of the trays) FESTA DOS TABULEIROS TOMAR July 2nd to July 11th 2011
