Highlights
  • Serra da Arrabida - Enjoy the wonderful scenery and content of the mountains. You will undoubtedly be dazzled, one of the most incredible and profoundly beautiful places in Portugal. Passionate and breathtaking.

During this trip we will stop to absorb the beauty of the landscape and its history. In one of its many corners we will find a treasure, the Convento da Arrábida, considered to be the outskirts of heaven, a unique and mystical place.

  • Setubal District - São Domingos viewpoint

Our tour will start at the São Domingos viewpoint, where we will have our first immersive look at what we will be visiting during the day.

Instead of a paper map, you will have a live map.

  • Mercado do Livramento - Considered one of the best fish markets in the world in 2015. Inside, the tiles by Pedro Pinto, dating from 1929 depicting the city’s agricultural and fishing activities stand out.

Get ready for a sensory experience of colors, fragrances and flavors. We will find fish of many varieties, fruit, vegetables, and aromatic herbs. An intense and dynamicge with local producers and products.

  • Setubal - In the heart of the city is the illustrious Convent of Jesus, dating from the 15th century (1490). It was the first convent of Manueline architecture and one of the few that survived the 1755 earthquake.

The work is documented and stylistically attributed to the Manueline architect Boitaca.

Its atmosphere reminds us of peace and silence, but also of the complexity of the Manueline style alluding to the golden age of the Portuguese discoveries.

An intricate and enigmatic style, an art where symbolism is present in every detail of its movement.

  • Setubal - Lunch Break

Stop off at Setúbal’s dockside promenade, where you can choose one of the many restaurants where you’re sure to find fresh fish from the region, not forgetting the irresistible and crunchy fried cuttlefish, a traditional dish of this city. In any of the restaurants you’ll enjoy the view of the blue river, the Sado.

After our wonderful lunch, we will continue our journey to a picturesque village called Azeitão.

This region has always been known for its wines and cheeses. It was also a resting place for the nobility due to its particular and privileged climate and proximity to Lisbon.

  • Azeitao - Tiles from Azeitão

A visit to an artisan workshop in a very intimate and familiar setting where we will learn about tiles in a traditional way, from their origin, how they are made, the meaning of their colors, ornamentation and the final product.

  • Quinta do Alcube - Located in the heart of the Serra da Arrábida Natural Park, with family production, where dedication, love and nature are present from the grape harvest to the final result.

Have the best day tour with Carolina! - My partner and I have just enjoyed a great day out with Carolina. She is passionate about her work and took us to such interesting places in Setubal: a huge local market filled with magnificent food; local attractions such as the amazing 15th century convent, interesting little streets in Setubal, a magnificent view of the coast from the lookout; delicious lunch; very interesting family-owned tile business and then to a wonderful family vineyard. At every location Carolina was able to tell us the history and made it all very relevant and personal. She is a wonderful tour guide and I want to let everybody know that they will get the best day out with her!
