La Piazzeta is a personal favourite in Oliveira de Frades. This simple restaurant has excellent Italian food on a budget. The pizzas are great, and we recommend the starter with roasted brocoli and cheese. The wines are good, as well as the limoncello to square things off

Parks & Nature
The Teixeira River has been considered the least polluted river in Europe in the 90's and had the second-best river beach in Europe in terms of the quality of its water (that is now, unfortunately, under water, due to the Ribeiradio-Ermida dam). It still is a magical place, with endemic flora that exists nowhere else
