The Serra da Arrábida mountains and its 10,800 hectare natural park are among the main attractions of this region, primarily but not exclusively for its magnificent landscape.
This protected area benefits from a distinctive Mediterranean microclimate that make it an ideal habitat for hundreds of animal and plant species. You may learn more about the park´s life and existence through the several pedestrian walks and guided tours suggested in our Guidebook of Experiences.
Be sure to also visit the Old Convent, the Fort of Santa Maria and the mysterious Lapa de Santa Margarida cave.
Put a day aside to visit some of the beaches which are sheltered by the mountains, have calm sea waters and beautiful fine white sand. Visit Portinho, Galapos or Figueirinha beaches, just to mention a few.
