The Foods We Need

People often ask us what they can offer us in terms of food.
In addition to the Meal Offer link calendars proper, often meals are made in the Monastery itself, so there is really also the need to have ingredients for the people who stay here overnight to be able to cook.

Thus, at the moment the most missing foods are:

  • Soya milk
  • Fruit: apples, bananas
  • vegetables and vegetables:
    watercress, lettuce, spinach, kale, turnips, carrots, coriander
  • Cheese

With great gratitude from the Monastic Community

DIRECTIONS

Coming from Lisbon (by car)

Take the A8 towards Leiria and leave for the A21 (Exit 5) towards Ericeira. Follow the A21 to the end and at the roundabout, exit at the third exit, towards Fonte Boa dos Nabos. After 550 meters turn right, where it says Fonte Boa dos Nabos. After the tunnel, always go straight ahead, on General Humberto Delgado Street, passing through the center of the village. At the intersection, continue on Rua do Vale Grande until you find on your left the Caminho do Vale Grande (before a yellow house with a
white wall). In 800m, after a stretch of dirt road, you will reach Sumedharama.

Coming from Lisbon (by bus)

Take bus 2740 from Carris, in Campo Grande, to Ericeira.

Arriving at Ericeira you can take a taxi to the monastery (3kms)

Coming from Porto

There are two possibilities:

  1. via Aveiro – coming by IC1 (A17/A8) to find the A21 near Venda do Pinheiro. After that, you can follow the same indications as in “from Lisbon”.
  2. via A1 Porto-Lisbon, and near Alverca leave for CREL (A9). Then leave for the A8 towards the North and follow the same indications as in “Lisbon”.
