Condeixa-a-Nova

Located in the central region of the Baixo Mondego sub-region, Condeixa-a-Nova perfectly combines a city atmosphere with a mountainous landscape. The mild, typically Mediterranean climate, coupled with the abundance of running water, have made Condeixa a municipality of rare natural beauty. Among the Janeanes and Círculo mountains, we can find viewpoints offering stunning panoramic views of the entire municipality. One of the must-see places in the municipality is Conímbriga, one of the most visited destinations in the country. The regional cuisine is rich and varied, but the most famous dishes are the wood-fired roasted goat, served with roasted potatoes and boiled greens, and the goat or lamb "chanfana", served with boiled potatoes. Also try the famous Rabaçal cheese and "escarpiada".
