Tapada Nacional de Mafra

Last week i've only received cards twice, both times, surprise cards. These 6 belong to a collection of 12 cards of rhe Tapada Nacional de Mafra, sent by Luís. I really, really love the cards. That's the kind of animal cards i like. The other 6 cards are displayed in my portuguese blog.

"The Tapada Nacional de Mafra was created in Mafra, Portugal, during the reign of king João V, following the building of the Mafra National Palace, as a park for royal and court recreation.

Covering over 8 square kilometres, the park holds different species of deer, wild boar, foxes, birds of prey and many others coexisting in an unusually rich and diversified natural habitat. A favourite of the Portuguese monarchy for hunting and other leisure pursuits, the Tapada de Mafra took on a noble connotation that has done much to aid its preservation and continuity.

Its natural heritage ensures it is an excellent location for fun environmental awareness and education programmes. The Tapada is also open for walking, mountain biking, horse riding, archery and crossbow shooting activities." - in: wikipedia
