In a nutshell

Let us admire the rural landscape and unspoilt nature just outside Lisbon in the lovely Arrábida Nature Park, where the ocean meets the Atlantic scrub. We also stop at the Castle of Sesimbra and visit a winery where we will toast with a glass of excellent wine.

The programme

We leave the city of Lisbon on our coach and head south through the estuary of the river Tagus crossing one of the suspended bridges.
We do a photostop from Sesimbra Castle, the last of the Portuguese castles on the sea to maintain the medieval moth. Its walls have a unique view over the village and the sea.
We get back on our coach and venture into the amazing Arrábida Nature Park stretching between the blue ocean and green mountains and offering one of the most spectacular views of the coast just outside Lisbon. The reserve safeguards the Atlantic shrub, generated by the microclimate of the Serra de Arrábida and its proximity to the sea.
We then continue towards Azeitão, a small town at the edge of the nature park surrounded by olive groves and vineyards that cover the gentle hills of the Portuguese countryside.
We stop in a winery, where we learn how the famous local wines are produced and enjoy a delicious tasting session of this “Nectar of the gods”, ending an exceptional day with a cheerful toast.
