Itinerary
At Cabo Espichel is located the complex of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Cabo Espichel – Church of Our Lady of Cabo, Hermitage of Memory, House of the Candles, Square at Cabo Espichel, Cross, Water House, and Aqueduct at Cabo Espichel."
The origins of Sesimbra Castle date back to the 9th century, during the period of Muslim occupation of the territory. In 1165, it was conquered by King Afonso Henriques, but in 1191 it was lost to the Almohads. Its definitive reconquest was carried out by King Sancho I in 1199, who granted the first charter to the village of Sesimbra, which at the time was located within the castle walls. Throughout the Middle Ages, due to its strategic importance in defending the kingdom’s maritime and land borders, the castle underwent numerous expansions
The meeting of the mountains and the sea gave rise to a stretch of fine-sand beaches with crystal-clear waters that one would expect to find only in the Mediterranean, such as Figueirinha, Galapos, and Portinho da Arrábida. This region was favored by Franciscan friars who, between the 16th and 19th centuries, lived in the still-standing Convent and meditated in the secluded chapels scattered throughout the Serra. Arrábida offers excellent conditions for agriculture and livestock farming, resulting in high-quality local products. Among the highlights are the wines, which you can explore by following the Blue Coast Wine Route. This route takes you to the charming village of Azeitão, where you can taste some delicious cheeses."

This tour truly became one of our favorites during the visit to Portugal. Our wonderful guide Ricardo went out of his way to showcase the stunning beauty of Arrabida. He picked us up near our hotel in Lisbon, making everything so convenient. Throughout the day, we stopped at many breathtaking viewpoints and beaches that left us in awe. Ricardo was incredibly kind and even took photos of my mom and me throughout the tour. He captured some truly special candid moments that we would have never been able to get ourselves. Overall, the tour went smoothly, and we both felt completely relaxed and at ease. We enjoyed some divine wines at the Bacalhoa winery, and before that, Ricardo kindly offered us delicious fresh cheese and bread from the local market. After winery visits, we had a wonderful lunch at a charming local restaurant—I had one of the best shrimp curry stews ever! Our last stop was at a tile workshop, where we learned even more about the beautiful Portuguese tiles and how they are crafted and painted. Ricardo generously shared a wealth of insights into Portuguese culture and lifestyle. He also offered fantastic tips on how to explore more hidden gems around Lisbon and make the most of your visit. If you're planning a trip to Lisbon and want to escape the city for a day of stunning views and authentic experiences, Ricardo is the perfect guide to help make your time in Portugal truly memorable.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was an absolute pleasure to spend the day with you and your mother and to show you the 'hidden' side of Arrábida that I love so much. I’m so glad you enjoyed the photos! It was a joy to capture those moments for you—sometimes the best memories are the ones where you can just relax and be present. I will definitely tell the restaurant about your compliment on the shrimp curry. Sharing our culture, our wines, and the art of our tiles with such appreciative guests is what makes my job so rewarding. You both were wonderful company, and I’m thrilled that you felt at home in Portugal. I hope the rest of your trip was just as magical. Whenever you decide to return to Lisbon, you know where to find me! Warm regards, Ricardo
