Between sea and mountains, tradition and spirituality, this private tour reveals the most surprising side of the region south of Lisbon. Here, natural heritage coexists with artisanal know-how, the flavours of award-winning wines and one of the country's most emblematic monuments.
The Arrábida Natural Park is an ecological reserve with a rare wealth of landscapes, where the intense green of the Mediterranean vegetation plunges into an ocean of blue tones. This dramatic contrast has enchanted monks, kings and writers over the centuries, becoming a setting for contemplation and inspiration.
In Azeitão, cultural heritage takes on form and colour. The handmade production of azulejos, introduced to Portugal in the 15th century, is still alive in the local workshops, where the tradition is maintained with rigour and creativity. Each hand-painted piece is a reflection of the Portuguese soul, marked by detail and patience.
But Azeitão can also be savoured. The region is known for its winemaking tradition and its aromatic and elegant wines, especially the iconic Moscatel de Setúbal. Wine tasting in this land is more than a tasting - it's an encounter with the identity of a region.
On the way back to Lisbon, the silence and grandeur of Cristo Rei imposes itself on the landscape. Inspired by the Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, this monument was inaugurated in 1959 as an expression of national gratitude for Portugal's neutrality in the Second World War. Its symbolic presence marks the entrance to the city with spirituality and grandeur.
This tour is a harmonious combination of nature, culture and emotion, ideal for those who want to discover a deeper Portugal, with the comfort of a local guide and private transport with pick-up at the location of your choice in Lisbon.
