In Alcobaça there’s a great shop: Granja de Cister. It means something like ‘small monastry farm’.
The goal of the shop is to promote local products, and it’s part of the Cooperativa Agrícola (agricultural cooperation) of Alcobaça.
You can buy lots of things here: vegetables, fruit, dairy, meat, bread, cookies, wine, and much more. But also things like bags and textiles. And everything is produced locally.
Besides that, the shop is just lovely, everything is displayed beautifully, a pleasure to see. There is also a nice cafe where you can enjoy a coffee with pastry, or a sandwich.
You can go here for your regular shopping, but it’s also a great place if you’re looking for presents or souvenirs. Isn’t it lovely to enjoy al those jummy Portuguese products after your holiday?
Granja de Cister has a website.
