through the timeline of this beautiful region.
Take a day, a morning or just a moment ...
... to discover the Arrabida way of life ...
... a saint hiding in a grotto, the last wooden ship builder, three crosses on a hill, a pirate bounty, a hotel room in a windmill or a monastery, fisherman tales, a medieval joust, iguanodon footprints, Tubal the son of Cain in Setubal, the dance of flamingos and dolphins, James Bond honey moon, an Iberian lynx prowling in the shadows, the power of the thistle flower, a cliffside of healing clay, roman recipes, the spiders that guard wine ...
In todays world where time is often more precious than money, it is frustrating to find oneself searching hopelessly in an unfamiliar region. Much of Arrabida secrets are truly hidden behind unmarked doors and down twisting pathways. The modesty of the Portuguese would never think you were interested in the local charms of their region and so that is how they have remained undiscovered.
is not a tourist guide but an introduction to a way of life enriching each of our senses.
