Event Description
This proposed walk starts next to Casa do Gaiato, on the access road to Portinho da Arrábida, and goes along a succession of beaches, all of them of enormous beauty, integrated into the landscape of the Arrábida Natural Park. We'll pass through places of great natural beauty, with very pleasant scenery, from Praia de Alpertuche to Praia de Galápos, not forgetting the emblematic Gruta da Lapa de Santa Margarida.
Ruins of Creiro:
In the Serra da Arrábida, next to Praia do Creiro, are the ruins of a Roman fish-salting factory and a bathhouse. In Roman times, the wealth of fish and salt at the mouth of the River Sado led to the creation of an industrial complex for the production of salted fish, centred on the cities of Cetóbriga and Tróia, but with small production units elsewhere, such as Creiro. This production of sauces and salting was large enough to be exported to other regions of the Empire.
Alpertuche Beach:
Alpertuche beach is a small, little-known beach with lots of rocks and clear waters that mainly serves the local residents. It is an unsupervised beach and can be accessed by a sandy road about 100 metres from the junction with Portinho da Arrábida.
Pilots Beach:
A Pilots Beach has a small sandy beach that is completely submerged at high tide. The waters are calm and crystal clear. In the bathing area, there is a large rock that stands out.

Event Description
Join us on a unique walk along Sesimbra's enigmatic coastline, where the sea kisses the cliffs and nature hides magical corners. We'll explore two mysterious and symbolic places: Lapa da Cova and Lapa da Santinha.
Between coastal trails, impressive rock formations and a constant view of the ocean, this walk takes us along lesser-known paths, where the landscape surprises us at every step.
First the Lapa da Cova, a sanctuary cave with roots in the Iron Age, used by Phoenician peoples, then the Lapa da Santinha, the silent guardian of a sacred place, discreet and enveloping, as if it were hiding secrets from the sea.
These are the highlights of a route where every step is a discovery. Another walk not to be missed|
Lapa da Cova
Lapa da Cova is located on the escarpment corresponding to the southern slope of the Achada mountain range in Sesimbra, near the village of Pedreiras, at an altitude of around 260 metres, clearly visible from a long distance from the sea.
The location of the cave and the artefacts collected during the archaeological work carried out in 2010 - bronze objects associated with rituals, gold jewellery, glass paste adornments, amber and various stones and amphorae - have made it possible to document an occupation during the "Iron Age I" and to propose a cultic use of this site during the Phoenician and Punic colonisation periods.
Located on the western edge of the territories explored by the Phoenicians, with Cape Espichel as a reference point, the sanctuary was in an area of intense maritime traffic associated with commercial traffic, travelled by the vessels that travelled between the estuarine areas of the Sado and Tagus rivers and the Mediterranean.

Event Description
This proposed walk starts near the Casa da Ti Alice cafeteria, in the town of Pedreiras. The route follows trails and some rural paths towards the Atlantic Ocean, in perfect communion with nature. We'll also have a fantastic view of the Serra do Risco cliffs, the highest in continental Europe with a height of 381 metres. A breathtaking view of Mother Nature's magnificence. From there we set off on our return journey, passing through Quinta do Calhariz to our starting point. Another event not to be missed!
Arrábida Natural Park:
The Arrábida Natural Park owes its name to the main geomorphological unit of the whole area, the so-called Arrábida mountain range, made up of 3 axes:
- The 1st is made up of small elevations on the outskirts of Sesimbra, the Risco and Arrábida mountains and the hills between Outão and Setúbal;
- the 2nd is formed by the Sierras de S. Luís and dos Gaiteiros; and
- the 3rd formed by the Serra do Louro and Serra de São Francisco.
The orientation of the mountain range is ENE-OSO (alpine orientation) with a length of around 35 kilometres and an average width of 6 kilometres. The maximum altitude is 501 metres at the Formosinho anticline.
The Arrábida mountain range, and the area of plain that surrounds it, has a great diversity of soils, due to the multivariate constitution of the rocky materials that make up the parent rock. The vast majority of the soils are of sedimentary origin, although there are some eruptive intrusions. All the modelling visible in Arrábida today depends not only on aspects linked to tectonics and erosion, but also on the geology of the area, which is largely made up of limestone and dolomitic or detrital rocks.
As is characteristic of regions whose geology is predominantly made up of limestone, the hydrography has aspects specific to this type of constitution, such as the non-perenniality and smallness of the watercourses.
Serra do Risco and Terras do Risco
Legend has it that it was in this Vale do Risco that King Afonso Henriques "risked" dividing his troops, thus creating a death trap for the Moorish troops based at Sesimbra Castle. On the other hand, the presence of the skyline of the highest cliff above the sea on the Portuguese mainland presents itself as a perfect "risk" on the horizon. What is the reason for this name? We may not have an answer on this tour of a mysterious, unexplored area with unique treasures and views, accessing balconies overlooking the sea and travelling along old paths used by smugglers, climbers and, for a long time, the training ground for Portuguese soldiers going off to war overseas.

Event Description
On Halloween night, you're invited to walk with us through the shadows of the Serra do Louro, where the wind whispers ancient secrets and reveals what the day hides.
With the castle of Palmela watching us in the distance, we'll dive into a walk where every breath of wind can be a warning, and every shadow... a companion.
Are they echoes from the past? Or presences that still roam the hillsides?
The walk takes us towards Serra do Louro, past the Windmills and the Chibanes Hillfort - a fortified settlement that dates back to the 3rd millennium BC and was occupied by the Romans. Then we'll head to the tombs of Quinta do Anjo, where it is said that souls have never ceased to watch over their own graves. At night, when the mountains fall silent, some people swear they hear chanting in the distance... and footsteps that follow the group in silence.
Between trails, farms and silent pine forests, you'll feel the pulse of Palmela's forgotten stories. Bring your torch, your courage... and watch out for those walking beside you. Another event not to be missed!

Get ready for a walk through the charming town of Alcochete, where every step is a discovery and every corner tells a story. On this walk, we'll explore the hidden treasures of this riverside pearl by the Tagus. Another event not to be missed!
Alcochete's charms
We start with a walk on the beach by the Tagus and move on to the Tagus promenade with viewpoints offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Here, we can appreciate the natural beauty that surrounds this picturesque village.

Each stone and ancient façade shows the glorious past of this town by the river. Already in the heart of the town, where Alcochete's historic churches rise with a quiet majesty, you'll be amazed by the architecture and rich details of these churches, witnesses to the community's past and devotion.
We'll also walk through Sítio das Hortas and Pinhal da Areia, where you'll be immersed in a peaceful and serene atmosphere. Nature will reign, and the tranquillity of this environment will provide a perfect contrast to the hustle and bustle of modern life.

Albarquel Fort
The Albarquel Fort corresponds to the paradigm of Portuguese 17th century military architecture of the period. It is a fortified construction with a trapezoidal plan and a two-storey building. This building also had a small bastion at the south-east apex and a sentry box to the south.
The fort is in the “floor style”, which is characterised by its lack of decoration, a sober and imposing type of military construction. Of the building's few adornments, the friezes, entablatures, gargoyles and the detail of the exterior staircase stand out.
