About
Our History
Tourism experiences do not have to be all the same, we offer a quality service and trust with local experiences, contributing to the development and valorization of the heritage, establishing itself as a reference in tourism in the region. We want to stimulate the development of the singularities of the region and the local economy. The increase in the variety of the standardized offer and the loss of the original and typical of a country in terms of tourism, as well as the comparison between what is already done in other countries, has led to the identification of the concept, GLOCAL Tourism – a global scope and a local presence. The core business is to allow experiences more adjusted and customized to the reality of the region, ERICEIRA.
We work in two ways:
- For the Owner - management of your accommodation
- For the Guest - offer of accommodation and services
Location
Casais de S. Lourenço, Ericeira, Mafra, Ribamar and S. Julião are some of the locations. Our area of activity is mainly in the municipality of Mafra, as we believe that it is a market that still has a lot to grow and develop. Ericeira and Mafra are areas with unique characteristics and enormous tourist potential.
Great Location
The culture, the culinary, the people are some factors that serve as an invitation to national and foreign tourists. For example, the UNESCO heritage – The Royal Building of Mafra consists of a Palace, which integrates a Basilica, a Convent, the Cerco Garden and a Hunting Park (Tapada).
Ericeira
Also one of the driving forces behind this growth was the consecration of Ericeira as a World Surfing Reserve. In the Ericeira World Surfing Reserve, there are 4 kms of coast that covers the Ericeira World Surfing Reserve, the only one in Europe, and second in the world, and includes seven world-class waves.
Established in 2018
Glocal Ericeira was created in 2018 by Vanessa Roque, former marketeer, following her family steps in rentals and real state.
