    • One of the monastery's highlights is the huge kitchen. There a tank is always freshened by running water, diverted from the river. In my last visit I noticed that merging two traditions may lead to silly things: someone decided to put fishes in the tank and some other people keep throwing coins to the water. both things don't go well together - copper is poison to fishes, so the result will be easy to guess!

    • Baça river draining in Alcoa river gave name to Alcobaça. The merging of both rivers were for long time abandoned and neglected. A few years ago workings were started to recover and embellish it. Things are much better, but still too much to be done.

     We visited Alcobaca last summer and enjoyed touring the monastery and walking around the town.    		Maurizioago Sun Jul 9, 2006 23:35 UTC
     I didn't know there was a castle in Alcobaca. I've been there twice. Ciao!
