Setúbal was inhabited in ancient times by the Phoenicians and the Romans, who settled on the south bank of the River Sado.

Monsaraz, nearby, you immediately notice the extensive vineyards crowned by a massive elevation with a castle and a medieval town at the top.

Marvão is visible from many kilometers away.
When we approach Marvão, what we first see is an immense quartzite monolith with a walled village on top.

Sines is a photogenic treasure and the birthplace of one of Portugal’s most celebrated figures: Vasco da Gama, a Portuguese navigator.

Arrabida Natural Park. The breathtaking view makes me wonder why I don’t come here more often … It is lovely walking on the Park’s trails.
