We start our tour crossing the 25 de Abril bridge (identical to the S. Francisco bridge in) towards the sanctuary of Cristo Rei

Inhabited since prehistoric times, due to the privileged and strategic location, Palmela shows you traces of various cultures and the passing of time. There are several churches for you to visit and also a convent that belongs to Santiago Order now turned into a hostel. From that point you can catch sight of both "Tejo" River and Sado River.

Visit the Livramento Market. One of the best Markets in the world. A great variety of fish, cheeses, local pastries, olives, aromatic plants, flowers, seeds can be found here.

Setúbal's historic center is an invitation to travel back in time, where every corner reveals a new discovery. With a blend of ancient and modern architecture, this place reflects the city's evolution over the centuries. Bocage Square : This square is a great starting point for exploring the historic center. It is also a tribute to the famous poet Bocage. Convent of Jesus : It is a testament to Setúbal's religious and architectural history. Church of São Julião : Known for its impressive tiles, this church is a striking example of Portuguese religious art. Avenida Luísa Todi : Ideal for shopping and dining, this avenue offers a variety of shops and restaurants where you can sample Setúbal's famous fried cuttlefish. Troino Neighborhood : This historic neighborhood is steeped in tradition and authenticity, known for its local festivals. House of Culture : It is one of the city's main cultural and artistic centers, with activities focused on music, film, theater, dance, and photography.

Crossing the Serra da Arrábida Natural Park, one of the most complete and protected Portuguese parks over 500 meters high, with a fabulous view of the Sado river estuary, where we have a resident colony of dolphins not very common for this class of mammals. Upon booking it is possible to take a boat trip to see this fantastic family of mammals. With the whitish tones of its limestone cliffs, the blue of the waters and the green of the vegetation covering the Arrábida mountain range, a combination of colors that results in a unique image.

In addition to the beaches, Sesimbra is known for its fish, considered one of the best in the world. The characteristics of the water, the artisanal fishing techniques used and the way it is prepared by local restaurants make it unique. In the summer, the typical barbecued fish is the most sought after dish, leaving an unmistakable and irresistible aroma in the air. Although this is the most traditional way of preparing fish, each year more and more restaurants present innovative dishes that have brought added value to Sesimbra and its fish. A holiday or a visit to Sesimbra are only truly complete when you taste its fish! A stroll through the Sesimbra Marginal street, day or night, is the best way to come in first contact with this fishing village, with more than five centuries of history. Between the Ouro beach, to the west, and the California beach, to the east, lies the Fortress of Santiago, the sixteenth century monument and a terrace overlooking the sea. Time for lunch!!!
