More about Arrabida's Mountain and National Park

Found beside the sea, between Setúbal and the fishing town of Sesimbra, Arrábida Natural Park has matchless natural beauty, where the blue of the sea alternates with the white tones of the chalk cliffs and the depths of the green plant life that covers the range of mountains.

One of the piece de resistances of the Park is the wealth of its indigenous greenery. Among the uncommon examples of Mediterranean maquis in Portugal can be found here, and its conservation was one of the reasons which led the Arrábida zone to be thought about as a genuine international scientific antique.

If you want to find out more about the animal and plant life, check out the Oceanographic Museum, installed in the Fort of Nossa Senhora da Arrábida, beside Portinho beach. Nearly straight in front, it's possible to see the Pedra da Anixa, a little island that constitutes a zoological reserve, due to its undersea plant life. In addition to the Serra da Arrábida, the Park also includes other range of mountains such as the Serra do Risco, which consists of the highest peak along the Portuguese mainland coast - it is a stunning cliff measuring 380m high, that neglects the sea, from which it is possible to value an unforgettable breathtaking view over the Atlantic.

The action of the sea versus the mountains has actually come from a line of beaches characterised by great sand and transparent waters, that we may otherwise believe might just be discovered in the Mediterranean, such as Figueirinha, Galapos and the Portinho da Arrábida.

The zone was appreciated by Franciscan friars in between the 16th and 19th centuries, who lived in the convent that still exists in the zone and practiced meditation in the separated chapels distributed throughout the mountains. Arrábida has exceptional conditions for farming activities and pasture, and has actually therefore come from premium items. Examples consist of the red wines that can be found by following the Costa Azul wine route, which leads visitors to the friendly town of Azeitão where they can sample some delicious cheeses.

You can visit the Arrabida's Mountain along the Wine Tasting Lisbon - Half Day Private Tour with your private local tour guide.
