Travel from Lisbon to Azeitão, a place known for its cheeses and wines. Take in spectacular views of mountain scenery in Arrábida Mountain Park, monuments and landmarks such as the Arrábida Convent, Forte de São Filipe, and a medieval tide mill.
You’ll travel south from Lisbon to Azeitão, a picturesque region noted for its wines and cheeses. On this full-day excursion you’ll visit the natural reserve of Arrábida, where you’ll take in stunning mountain views, and learn about the area’s history, experience some of its top products, and visit its beaches (during the summer).
Along the way you’ll stop to see the Arrábida Convent, Lapa de Santa Margarida, before reaching the historical center of Setúbal.
Next you’ll head to a very rare, restored tide mill that was built in 1601. This piece of industrial archaeology stands as a testimony to medieval engineering expertise. The mill still uses the tides as a source of renewable, non-polluting energy.
Each year the ObservaNatura fair, dedicated to nature tourism and bird watching, is held here. There are various footpaths that provide a variety of views of the surrounding marshlands.
At the end of the tour, you’ll be invited to sample some of the popular local products, from liqueurs to cheeses and traditional sweets.
