Horse Carriage Tour on the Mountain in Palmela

The beauty of Arrábida is painted between the green of the mountains and the blue of the sea. But in between, there are a few well-hidden secrets. The Arrábida Natural Park is about 17,000 hectares with all that that means, a deep contrast between the whitish tones of the limestone cliffs, the blue of the waters, and the green of the vegetation that covers the mountains. . https://youtu.be/OwcldREn_A8

The 25 de Abril bridge began to be built in 1962 and was inaugurated in 1966. It is 70 meters high from the water and its highest point is 190 meters! Its length is about 2.2 km. Initially, the bridge was named Ponte Salazar, in honor of António de Oliveira Salazar. Later, in the Revolution of April 25, 1974, the bridge was renamed to the name we know today. The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco (USA) is considered the twin sister of our bridge. They have a common aspect: they are the two suspension bridges and they have a very beautiful red color.

The idea of building the National Sanctuary of Cristo Rei came in 1934 during a visit by Cardinal Cerejeira, Patriarch of Lisbon, to Brazil. After visiting the imposing Christ the Redeemer on Corcovado in Rio de Janeiro, he wanted to build a figure similar to admiring the capital. The outbreak of World War II ended up boosting the desire to finally build the Cristo Rei. If Portugal were spared the war, a Monument to the Sacred Heart of Jesus would be erected over Lisbon. The construction of the monument took 10 years, from 1949 to 1959. Cristo Rei rises 215 meters above sea level and has a total height of 110 meters.
Next to the sea, the Arrábida Natural Park is not just an immensity of area. Those who visit this natural park have the privilege of contacting nature in its purest state. So much so that it is a protected area. And blessed: to the richness of the flora is added the diversity of the fauna, and all this is crowned with trails and caves to explore, almost always with an eye on the Atlantic.

The carriage ride was lovely but I mistakenly thought that it was a carriage ride through a vineyard, but it was through the woods. Also, while the guys on the carriage with us were super nice, having someone who spoke English a little bit better would have been ideal. Everyone was very nice though and the mules were is excellent condition and very well taken care of. I would go again.
