Your Itinerary
Castelo de Palmela
In Palmela, we will cycle to the Castle. The Castle of Palmela is rich in history. In this zone, archaeological findings confirm human occupation from the neolithic period (310 AC). The earliest fortifications were built by the Muslims around the 9th century. Dom Afonso Henriques, the first Portuguese King, saw the Muslims abandon Palmela after the conquest of Lisbon in 1147. The second Portuguese King Don Sancho 1st had the fortress repaired and bestowed it to the Order of Santiago. From the hill, we can see the Rivers Sado and Tagus. If the day is clear, Lisbon and the Mountain range of Sintra are visible as well. In Palmela, we will visit some archeological sites and have a coffee break.
Palmela's Castle
When leaving the Castle of Palmela, we will have the opportunity to contemplate the beautiful Valley of the Barris, flanked by the mountainous forests of São Luís, Laurel and Arrábida. It seems like a dream, but the road literally 'snakes' through this Valley. We will carry on along the less-frequented road of the Barris Valley, first on asphalt, then off beaten path between vineyards and sheep pasture.
Vila Nogueira de Azeitao
Arriving in the town of Nogueira de Azeitão, according to the group's wishes, we can rest and taste the region's famous Muscatel wine, tarts, and buttery cheese. We can also drink the water that flows from the Fountain of the Astonished (18th century). According to the legend: "whoever drinks this water will remain bound forever to Azeitão".
Parque Natural da Arrabida
(Pass by)
Now comes the time to burn some calories by cycling up the Arrábida Nature Park. As we go up, sights over the blue sea are of indescribable beauty. Well above, we will see the Troia peninsula nestled between the Sado estuary and the unspoiled beaches bathed by the Atlantic Ocean. You can choose between two itineraries: along the beach to hit the water or through the mountains with breathtaking views.
Setubal
Finally, in the town of Setubal, we will recover our strength and share our impressions around a table savoring some fresh fish.
Setubal District
We will return to Lisbon by train from Setúbal.
