View of Setúbal and the coast from Arrábida Natural Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

Thank you for the Wind Mill Ruin Circuit from Palmela. Loved it but kinda complicated before arriving at the top at Sao Luis between point 5 and 6.
Great views all along the circuit.

View of Setúbal and Tróia Peninsula from Parque Natural da Arrábida

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great view in all directions! The ascent and descent on the hiking routes is not quite as easy and very steep. The dirt road up to the station above is a good alternative for the less daring.
