Walking
Casa Cantiga is located on the edge of the nature reserve Serra de Aire e Candeeiros, just a few steps from the pinhal de Leiria and the Costa de Prata, places where you can enjoy a nice walk.

In addition to a number of our own made hiking routes, you can also use the regular walks: In the mountains, in the pinewood and of course along the coast.
We offer walking tours on which you can hire us as a guide, but also maps and routes to independently enjoy the west of Portugal.
Routes through unspoilt nature with occasional small towns and lost sheep, next to routes by dunes and forest area on the coast with beautiful views to the ocean and impressive rocks and nature.
Walks are possible from 1 hour (for beginners) to 4 to 6 hours for the more experienced walker.
A delicious lunch to take with you, we can prepare and for instance advice or make a reservation in one of the local restaurants on your route.

Cycling / Biking
For cyclists, it is a splendid area here. We have made, for each level, a number of routes directly from Casa Cantiga. Wonderfully quiet routes through small-town villages with welcoming cafes, or by valleys filled with fruit trees toward the coast near Nazaré. In the Pinhal of Leiria are many bike paths constructed that take you through the forest to the coast.
For mountain bikers, it is a paradise. The many paths and rugged mountains provide challenges for large and small adventures. Maurice, himself an avid cyclist, can guide you on your tours, there are also mountain bikes and hybrid bikes for rent.
