The Espichel Cape is absolutely breathtaking in all its glory. Its huge rock formation along with the immensity of the sea will leave you sighing. This is a wild place with scarce vegetation, which is strongly exposed to the winds, so few birds nest here. Nonetheless, this is a crossing point for many migratory birds.

You’ll find here the Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora do Cabo, also known as Nossa Senhora de Pedra Mua. One legend has it that the Blessed Mother climbed the cape mounted on her donkey, leaving marks on the rocks. Later on, it was discovered that these tracks belonged to dinosaurs.

The Sesimbra Castle is a National Monument since 1910. Reportedly it was built during the Moorish occupation period. King Sancho I made the decisive conquest of the Castle in 1199. During Middle Ages,it suffered many expansions, in order to enhance its strategic importance in the kingdom’s land and maritime borders.

We recommend to try “The Fialho” Restaurant, the most traditional and renowned restaurant in Évora

A bit of history about this restaurant.

“In 1945 at Travessa dos Mascarenhas, in a corner building on Rua do Calvário, Manuel Fialho found the space he needed to start his project. A single storey house with an open interior, with wine carvings and wooden countertop with zinc plated top. Those who knew the renowned Maitre do Hotel Alentejano said that Manuel went from “horse to donkey”. However, as time went by, Mr Fialho showed that he had conquered the Alentejo. For more sophisticated coffees that were born, its space was always distinguished by those who enjoyed good wines and regional snacks. This, coupled with the owner’s friendliness, has always attracted numerous customers.”

This is a tiny fishing village in the Arrábida Natural Park. Its beach is famous for the fantastic views of both the mountains and the sea. You’ll be baffled by nature at its best, with amazing sights of the Arrábida mountains. Allow yourself a moment of quietness and enjoy this astonishing site.

The Nossa Senhora da Arrábida Convent was built in the 16th century and it’s located amidst the Arrábida Natural Park. The Convent’s 250 000 square meters cover the Old Convent, located on the highest part of the mountains, the New Convent in the middle of the slope, and the Garden and Sanctuary of Bom Jesus.
