Experience an unforgettable experience where luxury meets nature. Aboard the Mercedes EQS 450+, the pinnacle of silent and sophisticated electric mobility, embark on an exclusive tour of the natural, historical and gastronomic treasures of the Serra da Arrábida and Wine taste.
Our adventure begins in the heart of the Arrábida Natural Park, a true paradise where the intense green of the mountains blends with the deep blue of the sea. With breathtaking landscapes, hidden coves and beaches with crystal-clear waters, this is one of the most idyllic settings in Portugal. Feel the peace and fullness of untouched nature as we travel along panoramic roads overlooking the Atlantic.
Down to Setúbal, a vibrant city with a maritime soul, we arrive at the Sado Estuary, home to one of the rare resident populations of bottlenose dolphins in Europe. Take the opportunity to visit the Convento de Jesus, a 15th-century Gothic-Manueline jewel that symbolises the region's religious and architectural heritage.
We continue on to the picturesque town of Sesimbra, with its lively streets, the scent of the sea and the perfect beaches for relaxing. At the top of the hills is the Sesimbra Castle, an imposing medieval fortification with a privileged view over the ocean. Conquered by D. Afonso Henriques in the 12th century, it is today one of the few Portuguese castles with direct views of the sea. Climb the walls and let yourself be enveloped by the landscape and history.
We stop for a traditional lunch at a local restaurant, where the experience flavours of the sea shine through in the fresh fish dishes, expertly prepared using local ingredients.
Refreshed, we continue on to the dramatic Cabo Espichel, where nature speaks loudest. Between vertiginous cliffs and the endless sea, stands the mystical Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora do Cabo, an 18th-century religious complex that welcomed pilgrims from all over the country. The imposing church, the candlelight houses and the old inns create a serene and almost timeless atmosphere.
The next stop takes us to the iconic Palmela Castle, one of the oldest fortresses in Portugal. Of prehistoric origin, it was transformed into a Muslim stronghold in the 8th century and reconquered by D. Afonso Henriques in the 12th century. In the 15th century, it became the headquarters of the powerful Order of Santiago, who built the convent and church that can still be seen today within the walls.
To end this memorable day, we travel to Azeitão, a charming town nestled between vineyards and gentle hills. Here, tradition and flavour go hand in hand. Try the famous Tortas de Azeitão, light, sweet and enveloping, before visiting the iconic Quinta da Bacalhôa and make a amazing experience taste wine (tickets not include). Among Renaissance gardens, works of art and modern wine cellars, discover award-winning wines in an environment that exudes culture and elegance. The wine tourism experience here is complete refined, enveloping and unforgettable.
