More about this service
The best-kept secret south of Lisbon: Serra da Arrábida (natural park, Mediterranean landscape), the Galápos, Galapinhos and Portinho da Arrábida beaches (among the most beautiful in Portugal), and the fishing village of Sesimbra with its medieval Castle.
Popular variation: combine with a moscatel wine tasting at Azeitão (José Maria da Fonseca) or regional cheese tasting. Shorter itinerary (6-7h) ideal for beach days plus fresh fish lunch in Sesimbra.
