We depart Lisbon heading south across the April 25th Bridge where you get some excellent views of the Lisbon skyline and the Statue of Cristo Rey.
We will drive to Azeitão, here we have an opportunity to visit the Fonseca Winery with its beautiful gardens and excellent wines. The manor here has a stunning collection of azulejos (the blue tiles that were so popular in 19th century Portugal.) You’ll have a chance to taste some of the excellent wines produced here.
You’ll have time for lunch in Sesimbra, fishing village.
We’ll cross the Setubal Peninsula passing through the Arrabida Mountain.
Before we return to Lisbon, we’ll stop in Palmela, where you can visit the castle of Palmela, which is now a pousada.
