A day trip to Arrábida is ready for you… or better saying, the blue coast is ready for you. Grab your swimsuit! In between medieval castles we have time for a swim in some of Arrábidas turquoise water beaches.

● Let’s start our day crossing the longest bridge in Europe, Vasco da Gama bridge, heading to the small town of Palmela just to find one of the best castles in Portugal. From the top of Palmela’s castle you will be able to see both Tejo (Tagus) and Sado River.

● After learning all about the military strategy used by the Portuguese at Palmela’s castle, we will take you on a scenic drive through the breathtaking Natural Park of Arrabida, stopping along the way so you can capture the beauty of this site!

• Some people stop in Sesimbra for the beach, we drive for hours just for their fish! These guys, in this small fishing town, really know how to pick and cook their fish, so don’t be surprised by the incredibly flavorful lunch you will get there!

• Let’s learn more about the beautiful Portuguese tiles that have been filling you camera roll since you landed in Portugal! In the small town of Azeitão we can stop at a tile atelier to share all the details of these gems with you, and you can even paint your own tile if you wish!

• Heading back home, but we still have time for one last memorable stop – Christ the King statue. This location has a strong religious meaning for all catholic, but even the non believers will be amazed by this location due to its phenomenal view of Lisbon and the 25th of April’s bridge.
